What Is This Tool?

This tool converts magnetic flux values from milliweber (mWb), an SI derived unit, to maxwell (Mx), a cgs unit. It helps translate between measurement systems for accurate analysis and reporting of magnetic flux across various applications.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the magnetic flux value in milliweber (mWb)
  • Select milliweber as the source unit and maxwell as the target unit
  • Initiate the conversion to get the equivalent flux in maxwell (Mx)
  • Use the output for analysis, reporting, or comparing legacy and modern data

Key Features

  • Supports conversion from milliweber to maxwell units of magnetic flux
  • Based on the precise conversion rate: 1 mWb = 100000 Mx
  • Useful for compatibility between SI and cgs measurement systems
  • Applicable to electrical engineering, physics labs, and solar physics contexts
  • Browser-based and easy to use without requiring installation

Examples

  • 0.5 mWb converts to 50000 Mx by multiplying 0.5 by 100000
  • 2 mWb converts to 200000 Mx following the conversion rate
  • This allows direct translation of values between SI and cgs units

Common Use Cases

  • Measuring flux in transformers and inductors to avoid magnetic saturation
  • Magnetic circuit analysis in motors, generators, and electromagnetic devices
  • Laboratory calibration using fluxmeters, fluxgate, or Hall-effect sensors
  • Reporting flux in legacy literature and cgs-based measurement systems
  • Analyzing solar magnetic activity like sunspots in solar physics

Tips & Best Practices

  • Confirm the unit system used in your data before converting
  • Use this converter to ensure compatibility between SI and cgs units
  • Interpret results considering the context and instrumentation standards
  • Be cautious with legacy data as maxwell is less common in modern work

Limitations

  • Maxwell is a cgs unit and is less commonly used compared to SI units
  • Differences in unit systems may affect precision and interpretation
  • Conversions should consider measurement context and instrumentation quality

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a milliweber?
A milliweber (mWb) is an SI derived unit of magnetic flux equal to 10⁻³ weber, which measures the total magnetic field passing through a surface.

What does one maxwell represent?
One maxwell (Mx) is the cgs unit of magnetic flux defined as one gauss·cm² and corresponds to 10⁻⁸ weber in the SI system.

Why convert milliweber to maxwell?
Converting from milliweber to maxwell helps translate magnetic flux values between SI and cgs systems, facilitating compatibility with legacy data and older literature.

Key Terminology

Milliweber (mWb)
An SI derived unit of magnetic flux equal to one-thousandth of a weber (10⁻³ Wb).
Maxwell (Mx)
A cgs unit of magnetic flux equal to one gauss·centimeter squared, equivalent to 10⁻⁸ weber.
Magnetic flux
The measure of the total magnetic field passing through a specified surface.
