  • Enter the magnetic flux value in maxwells (Mx) into the input field
  • Select 'maxwell [Mx]' as the source unit
  • Choose 'tesla square meter [T*m^2]' as the target unit
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent value in tesla square meters
  • Refer to example conversions to verify your results

Key Features

  • Converts magnetic flux from maxwell [Mx] to tesla square meter [T*m^2]
  • Based on standardized conversion factor ensuring consistency with cgs and SI units
  • Supports applications in electromagnetic design, solar physics, and magnetic circuit analysis
  • Provides clear examples for practical understanding
  • Browser-based and easy to use without installation

Examples

  • 5000 Mx converts to 5e-5 T·m² by multiplying 5000 by 10⁻⁸
  • 1,000,000 Mx converts to 0.01 T·m² using the conversion factor 10⁻⁸

Common Use Cases

  • Reporting magnetic flux in small laboratory coils and older magnetic circuit data using cgs units
  • Converting historical solar-physics measurements of active regions and sunspots into SI units
  • Designing transformers, motors, and inductors requiring magnetic flux in SI units
  • Analyzing magnetic circuits in electromagnet and magnet manufacturing
  • Integrating legacy magnetic flux data with modern electromagnetic engineering standards

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure consistent use of unit systems when reporting and calculating magnetic flux
  • Use the conversion factor precisely to avoid numerical rounding errors especially for small values
  • Verify converted values against examples to maintain accuracy
  • Leverage this conversion when dealing with legacy data alongside modern SI-based calculations

Limitations

  • Maxwell is a cgs unit and less commonly used in current practice compared to SI units
  • Converting very small magnetic flux values may require high precision to prevent rounding issues
  • Users must be cautious to maintain consistency between cgs and SI units during conversion

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a maxwell in terms of SI units?
