Frequently Asked Questions

What does 1 Wb/in² represent?
It represents one weber of magnetic flux distributed over one square inch, a non-SI unit of magnetic flux density.

What unit does maxwell per square centimeter correspond to in SI?
One maxwell per square centimeter equals 10⁻⁴ tesla in the SI system.

Why is converting between these units necessary?
Conversion helps integrate and compare legacy imperial magnetic flux data with CGS or SI-based measurements.

Key Terminology

Weber per square inch [Wb/in²]
A unit expressing magnetic flux density as one weber of flux over one square inch, commonly used in inch-based engineering contexts.
Maxwell per square centimeter [Mx/cm²]
A CGS unit of magnetic flux density equal to one maxwell of flux over one square centimeter, numerically equivalent to one gauss.
Magnetic flux density
A measure of the strength and concentration of magnetic flux in a given area.
