What Is This Tool?

This unit converter allows users to translate magnetic flux density measurements expressed in maxwell per square centimeter (Mx/cm²) into line per square centimeter (line/cm²), two historically used CGS units that are numerically equivalent.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the numeric value of magnetic flux density in maxwell per square centimeter.
  • Select maxwell/square centimeter as the input unit and line/square centimeter as the output unit.
  • Click convert to see the equivalent value displayed immediately.

Key Features

  • Converts between two equivalent CGS magnetic flux density units.
  • Supports translation of legacy data and literature values.
  • Browser-based and easy to use without installation.

Examples

  • 5 Mx/cm² converts to 5 line/cm²
  • 0.1 Mx/cm² converts to 0.1 line/cm²

Common Use Cases

  • Interpreting magnetic field strength data from older CGS-based research papers.
  • Analyzing historical geomagnetic survey information expressed in traditional units.
  • Converting magnetic measurements from legacy laboratory reports or magnetic recording specifications.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify the unit notation in historical data to ensure correct conversion.
  • Use this converter to maintain consistency when comparing legacy datasets.
  • Understand that these units are equivalent but may not align with modern SI unit standards.

Limitations

  • Units are both CGS-based and may be outdated compared to SI units like tesla.
  • Accuracy depends on correctly interpreting legacy magnetic data where units were sometimes used interchangeably.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are maxwell/square centimeter and line/square centimeter different units?
No, they are historically distinct names but represent the same magnetic flux density quantity and are numerically equal.

Why use this conversion if the units are equivalent?
Converting helps translate between terminology used in different historical or regional contexts and ensures clarity when working with older data.

Is this unit converter suitable for modern magnetic flux density measurements?
This tool is intended for CGS-based units commonly found in legacy or historical data, not typically used for modern SI tesla measurements.

Key Terminology

Maxwell per square centimeter (Mx/cm²)
A CGS unit of magnetic flux density equal to one maxwell of flux passing through one square centimeter, numerically equal to one gauss.
Line per square centimeter (line/cm²)
A historical CGS magnetic flux density unit equal to one magnetic line of force through one square centimeter; equivalent to one gauss.
Gauss (G)
A CGS unit of magnetic flux density equivalent to both maxwell/square centimeter and line/square centimeter.
