What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms magnetic flux values from lines, an outdated cgs-emu unit, into volt seconds [V*s], the modern SI unit equivalent. It helps translate legacy magnetic flux data into standard units used in electrical engineering and magnetic circuit analysis.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the magnetic flux value in lines.
  • Select the 'line' as the input unit and 'volt second [V*s]' as the output unit.
  • Click on the convert button to see the equivalent magnetic flux in volt seconds.
  • Use the result for further engineering calculations or data comparison.

Key Features

  • Converts magnetic flux from lines to volt seconds [V*s] accurately as per the established conversion rate.
  • Supports legacy magnetic flux data integration with modern SI-based measurements.
  • Browser-based and easy to use with simple input and output functionality.
  • Provides conversion relevant to transformer design, magnetic circuit calculations, and research applications.

Examples

  • 10 lines = 10 × 1e-8 V·s = 1e-7 V·s
  • 5 lines = 5 × 1e-8 V·s = 5e-8 V·s

Common Use Cases

  • Interpreting historical magnetism literature that references lines of force.
  • Handling legacy magnetic-circuit calculations and instruments calibrated in cgs units.
  • Converting older magnetic flux data to SI units for consistent engineering analysis.
  • Specifying core flux limits in transformers and inductors to avoid saturation.
  • Calculating flux change from voltage measurements in laboratories and oscilloscope data.
  • Designing and analyzing magnetic circuits for motors, generators, and magnetic cores.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always verify legacy data sources since lines are an obsolete unit with possible precision issues.
  • Handle the small conversion factor carefully to minimize numerical errors in calculations.
  • Use the conversion when comparing historical magnetic flux data with modern measurements.
  • Consider the application context in electrical engineering when converting flux values.

Limitations

  • The line is an outdated unit that may possess precision limits due to historical measurement techniques.
  • Conversion involves a very small factor (1e-8 V·s per line), which requires careful numerical handling.
  • Modern instruments rarely measure magnetic flux in lines, limiting direct use of this unit today.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a line in magnetic flux units?
A line is an obsolete cgs-emu unit of magnetic flux equal to one maxwell and corresponds to 10⁻⁸ weber in SI units.

Why convert lines to volt seconds?
Converting lines to volt seconds updates legacy magnetic flux measurements to standard SI units for better compatibility with modern engineering and research.

Where is the volt second unit commonly used?
Volt second [V*s] is used to express magnetic flux in electrical engineering, particularly for transformer core limits, magnetic circuit design, and laboratory measurements.

Key Terminology

Line
An obsolete cgs-emu unit of magnetic flux equal to one maxwell, representing the total magnetic flux through a surface.
Volt second [V*s]
The SI unit of magnetic flux equal to one weber; it quantifies magnetic flux and relates to the electromotive force induced over time.
Magnetic Flux
A measure of the magnetic field passing through a given surface area, expressed in units like lines, maxwells, or webers.
