What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms magnetic flux measurements from maxwell [Mx], a cgs unit, into line, an older cgs-emu unit equal in magnitude. Both units represent the magnetic flux passing through a surface, helping users interpret legacy data and historical magnetism literature.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the magnetic flux value measured in maxwell [Mx] into the input field.
  • Select the target unit as line to convert to the obsolete cgs-emu unit.
  • Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent value in lines.

Key Features

  • Direct conversion between maxwell [Mx] and line units with a 1:1 ratio.
  • Supports magnetic flux measurement conversions commonly used in historical and scientific contexts.
  • Browser-based tool offering quick and simple unit transformations.

Examples

  • 5 Maxwell [Mx] converts to 5 Lines
  • 100 Maxwell [Mx] converts to 100 Lines

Common Use Cases

  • Interpreting magnetic flux data from historical magnetism and legacy cgs literature.
  • Analyzing solar physics measurements of older solar active regions or sunspots.
  • Converting magnetic flux data for legacy magnetic-circuit instruments calibrated in cgs units.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always verify the original unit system when dealing with older magnetic flux data.
  • Use this converter to quickly cross-check values in obsolete units before converting to SI units if needed.
  • Be cautious when applying results from obsolete units to modern measurements due to differences in standardization.

Limitations

  • The line unit is obsolete and seldom used in contemporary applications.
  • Both maxwell and line belong to cgs systems that may lack precision compared to SI standard units.
  • Further conversion to SI units such as weber is recommended for modern scientific work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are maxwell and line units the same?
Yes, one maxwell [Mx] is exactly equal to one line, both representing the same magnetic flux magnitude.

Why convert from maxwell to line if they are equal?
This conversion helps interpret historical data and legacy literature that references the line unit instead of maxwell.

Should I use maxwell or line units for modern measurements?
Neither; both are cgs units and obsolete. It's best to use SI units like the weber for contemporary measurements.

Key Terminology

Maxwell [Mx]
A cgs unit of magnetic flux equal to one gauss·cm², representing total magnetic flux through a surface and equal to 10⁻⁸ weber in SI units.
Line
An obsolete cgs-emu unit of magnetic flux equivalent to one maxwell, used historically to denote total magnetic flux passing through a surface.
Magnetic Flux
A measure of the amount of magnetic field passing through a given surface.
