Direct interchange between units may require careful scaling and attention to precision depending on the use case
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one weber per square centimeter represent?
-
It is a magnetic flux density unit that expresses one weber of magnetic flux distributed across an area of one square centimeter.
-
Why convert from weber/square centimeter to line/square centimeter?
-
Conversion facilitates understanding and comparison between modern SI units and historical CGS units used in older literature, research, and calibration.
-
Are line per square centimeter units still used today?
-
They are mainly historical and used in specific fields like geomagnetic surveys or older datasets but are less common in modern standardized measurements.
Key Terminology
-
Weber per square centimeter
-
A unit representing the magnetic flux density as one weber of magnetic flux spread over one square centimeter.
-
Line per square centimeter
-
A historical CGS unit of magnetic flux density equal to one magnetic line of force per square centimeter, numerically matching one gauss.
-
Magnetic flux density
-
A measure of the magnetic flux passing through a unit area perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field.
