Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why convert line/square centimeter to weber/square meter?
-
Converting allows translation of older CGS magnetic flux density readings into the SI system used in current scientific and engineering applications.
-
Are line/square centimeter and gauss related?
-
Yes, one line per square centimeter is numerically equivalent to one gauss, both representing magnetic flux density in the CGS system.
-
What is the conversion factor between these units?
-
One line per square centimeter equals 0.0001 weber per square meter.
Key Terminology
-
Line/square centimeter
-
A historical CGS unit of magnetic flux density equal to one magnetic line of force (one maxwell) passing through one square centimeter; equivalent to one gauss.
-
Weber/square meter
-
An SI derived unit of magnetic flux density equal to one weber of flux spread over one square meter; identical to the tesla.
-
Magnetic flux density
-
A measure of the strength and concentration of a magnetic field over a given area.
