What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms magnetic flux measurements from Magnetic flux quantum, a quantum unit used in superconductors, to Line, a classical but obsolete unit of magnetic flux formerly used in cgs systems.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value of magnetic flux in Magnetic flux quantum units.
-
Select Magnetic flux quantum as the from-unit and Line as the to-unit.
-
Click convert to see the equivalent magnetic flux value in Line.
Key Features
-
Converts Magnetic flux quantum (Φ0) to Line units accurately based on established physical constants.
-
Supports translation between contemporary quantum magnetic flux units and legacy cgs-emu units.
-
Ideal for applications bridging modern superconducting research with historical magnetic flux data.
Examples
-
1 Magnetic flux quantum equals 0.000000206783461 Line.
-
5 Magnetic flux quantum corresponds to 0.000001033917305 Line.
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing modern superconducting flux measurements to legacy magnetic flux records in older literature.
-
Performing magnetic circuit calculations with data originally expressed in cgs-emu units.
-
Bridging quantum-level magnetic flux quantities with classical magnetic flux data for research or device calibration.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify units carefully when converting between quantum and classical magnetic flux measurements due to their conceptual differences.
-
Use this tool primarily when working with historical datasets or legacy instrument calibrations referencing the line unit.
-
Be aware that the line unit is obsolete and not commonly used in current magnetic flux measurements.
Limitations
-
The line unit is outdated and seldom applied in modern scientific practice.
-
Conversion precision relies on fundamental constants; minor rounding discrepancies may exist.
-
Magnetic flux quantum and line represent different physical concepts, complicating direct physical interpretations.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the magnetic flux quantum?
-
It is the smallest discrete unit of magnetic flux threading a superconducting loop, defined as the Planck constant divided by twice the elementary charge.
-
Why convert Magnetic flux quantum to Line?
-
To translate quantum magnetic flux values into a classical, now obsolete, unit used historically in magnetic circuit analysis and measurement.
-
Is the line unit still used in modern measurements?
-
No, the line is an obsolete cgs-emu unit rarely used today, but helpful for interpreting older scientific materials.
Key Terminology
-
Magnetic flux quantum (Φ0)
-
The minimum discrete magnetic flux unit in superconductors, equal to the Planck constant divided by twice the elementary charge.
-
Line
-
An obsolete cgs-emu unit of magnetic flux equal to one maxwell, corresponding to 10⁻⁸ weber in SI units.
-
Weber (Wb)
-
The SI unit of magnetic flux, used as the modern standard unit in magnetic flux measurements.
