  • Interpreting magnetic field data from older CGS-based scientific literature
  • Analyzing legacy measurements in magnetics research and electrical engineering
  • Converting historical magnetic flux density data from geomagnetic or recording studies
  • Understanding specifications of magnetic recording heads and transformer cores
  • Comparing legacy magnetic flux units across different regional or historical standards

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify unit definitions when working with historical magnetic data
  • Use the conversion factor consistently for accurate results
  • Be cautious interpreting legacy data as measurement conditions may vary
  • Prefer SI units like tesla for modern magnetic field analysis when possible
  • Consult original source context to understand unit usage in historical documents

Limitations

  • Both units are from older, legacy measurement systems mostly replaced by SI units
  • Line/square inch is an approximate unit with limited modern practical application
  • Converting historical data requires careful consideration of varying measurement conditions
  • This tool does not cover conversions to or from SI units directly
  • Accuracy depends on consistent interpretation of legacy unit definitions

Frequently Asked Questions

What does one maxwell per square centimeter represent?
One maxwell per square centimeter represents a magnetic flux density unit in the CGS system, numerically equal to one gauss and defined as one maxwell of magnetic flux over one square centimeter.

Why would I convert maxwell/square centimeter to line/square inch?
This conversion helps interpret magnetic flux density values reported in legacy units across older technical literature and historical measurements before SI units were widely adopted.

Are these units used in modern scientific practice?
No, both maxwell/square centimeter and line/square inch are largely replaced by SI units like tesla, but they remain relevant for analyzing historical data and legacy documents.

Key Terminology

Maxwell/square centimeter
A CGS (emu) unit of magnetic flux density equal to one maxwell of magnetic flux per square centimeter, numerically equal to one gauss.
Line/square inch
A CGS-derived, non-SI unit of magnetic flux density equal to one magnetic line of flux per square inch; considered an obsolete, legacy unit.
Magnetic flux density
A physical quantity describing the strength and direction of a magnetic field per unit area.
