Why convert unit poles to gauss square centimeters?
-
Converting allows understanding and analyzing legacy magnetism data using CGS units common in modern electromagnetic studies.
-
Is the gauss square centimeter still used today?
-
Yes, it is a CGS unit representing magnetic flux and is often used in historical, laboratory, and some electromagnetic measurement contexts.
Key Terminology
-
Unit pole
-
An obsolete, historical unit formerly used to denote magnetic pole strength or analogous magnetic flux quantities in older magnetism literature.
-
Gauss square centimeter
-
A CGS (Gaussian) unit of magnetic flux equal to one maxwell, measuring magnetic flux passing through a surface.
-
Magnetic flux
-
A physical quantity representing the total magnetic field passing through a given area.
