Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a gauss square centimeter?
-
Gauss square centimeter (gauss·cm²) is a CGS unit of magnetic flux equal to one maxwell, representing the total magnetic field passing through a surface.
-
Is megaline a standard unit for magnetic flux?
-
No, megaline is not recognized or standardized for measuring magnetic flux; the SI unit weber is recommended.
-
Why convert gauss square centimeters to megalines?
-
Such conversions are mainly done for academic, historical, or legacy electromagnetic calculation contexts rather than practical use.
