Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does maxwell per square inch measure?
-
Maxwell per square inch measures magnetic flux density by expressing magnetic flux in maxwells over an area measured in square inches.
-
Why convert from maxwell/in^2 to weber/cm^2?
-
Converting allows legacy or imperial-based magnetic flux density data to be expressed in SI units, facilitating comparison, reporting, and engineering analysis.
-
Can I use this converter for all magnetic flux density conversions?
-
This converter specifically converts between maxwell per square inch and weber per square centimeter; other unit conversions require different tools.
