Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 maxwell per square meter represent?
-
It is a magnetic flux density unit representing one maxwell of flux distributed over one square meter, equivalent to 10^-8 tesla.
-
Why convert maxwell/square meter to weber/square centimeter?
-
To express very localized and strong magnetic flux densities and to translate older CGS data into SI-related units for better comparison.
-
Are maxwell/square meter and weber/square centimeter SI units?
-
Maxwell/square meter originates from CGS flux units, while weber/square centimeter is related to SI units; both measure magnetic flux density but differ in scale and system.
