What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms magnetic flux density values measured in weber per square meter, an SI derived unit equivalent to tesla, into gamma, a legacy unit useful for expressing very small magnetic field strengths especially in geomagnetism.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the magnetic flux density value in weber per square meter
  • Select 'weber/square meter' as the input unit
  • Choose 'gamma' as the output unit
  • Click convert to see the result displayed instantly

Key Features

  • Converts from weber per square meter (Wb/m²) to gamma (γ)
  • Based on a precise conversion rate of 1 Wb/m² to 1,000,000,000 gamma
  • Supports unit conversion for magnetic flux density in scientific and practical contexts
  • Browser-based tool requiring no installation
  • Useful for switching between SI and legacy geomagnetic units

Examples

  • Convert 0.5 weber per square meter to gamma: 0.5 × 1,000,000,000 = 500,000,000 gamma
  • Convert 2 weber per square meter to gamma: 2 × 1,000,000,000 = 2,000,000,000 gamma

Common Use Cases

  • Expressing magnetic flux densities in smaller units suited for detailed geomagnetic and geophysical measurements
  • Transitioning from standard SI units to specialized legacy magnetic field units in research
  • Reporting magnetic field strengths for MRI scanners and electric machine cores when fine detail is necessary
  • Describing magnetic anomalies during geophysical exploration and Earth's magnetic field observations
  • Measuring sensitivity levels of precision magnetometers in space and Earth science

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify the context to ensure gamma is appropriate since it is a legacy, non-SI unit
  • Use this converter when precise representation of very small magnetic field strengths is required
  • Be cautious with large numerical conversions to avoid any potential loss of precision
  • Prefer SI units for general applications unless legacy units are specifically needed for geomagnetic studies

Limitations

  • Gamma is a non-SI unit which might cause misunderstandings in standard scientific contexts
  • Large conversion factors can introduce numerical precision challenges if not handled carefully
  • The use of gamma is largely confined to geomagnetic and certain scientific fields, limiting its general applicability

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 1 weber per square meter represent?
It is an SI derived unit of magnetic flux density equal to one weber of flux over one square meter and is identical to one tesla.

Why convert weber per square meter to gamma?
