What Is This Tool?
This converter helps transform magnetic flux measurements from maxwell (Mx), a cgs unit, into megaline, a unit not standardized in scientific practice but used in certain niche or legacy contexts.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the magnetic flux value in maxwell [Mx]
-
Select maxwell (Mx) as the from unit and megaline as the to unit
-
Click convert to see the equivalent value in megaline
-
Review the results to reinterpret legacy data

Tips & Best Practices
-
Prefer SI units like webers (Wb) for scientific consistency
-
Use conversion carefully with attention to very small fractional values
-
Clarify unit usage when sharing converted data to avoid confusion
-
Apply this tool mainly for historical data and legacy applications
Limitations
-
Megaline is not a recognized or standardized magnetic flux unit
-
Conversions may involve very small decimal values requiring careful handling
-
SI units such as webers are recommended for accuracy and broad acceptance
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a maxwell (Mx)?
-
Maxwell is the cgs unit of magnetic flux equal to one gauss·cm² and represents total magnetic flux through a surface.
-
Is megaline a standard scientific unit?
-
No, megaline is not a recognized or standardized unit for magnetic flux in scientific practice.
-
Why convert from maxwell to megaline?
-
Conversion helps reinterpret historical or legacy magnetic flux data into units used in specific niche or legacy contexts.
