Unit pole is not standardized in modern systems and is considered obsolete
-
Conversion involves approximate interpretation due to differing magnetostatic frameworks
-
Direct comparisons may require additional contextual understanding of historical units
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a unit pole?
-
Unit pole is a historical, non-SI measurement used in older magnetism literature to describe magnetic pole strength or quantities similar to magnetic flux before modern standards.
-
Why convert unit pole to milliweber?
-
Converting to milliweber allows legacy magnetic flux data to be expressed in modern SI units for analysis, calibration, and comparison with current instruments.
-
Is the unit pole still used today?
-
No, the unit pole is considered obsolete and is replaced by SI units like the weber and milliweber in current practice.
Key Terminology
-
Unit pole
-
A historical non-SI unit representing magnetic pole strength or magnetic flux in older magnetism systems prior to the adoption of SI standards.
-
Milliweber (mWb)
-
An SI derived unit equal to one thousandth of a weber (10⁻³ Wb), measuring magnetic flux passing through a surface.
-
Magnetic flux
-
The total magnetic field quantity passing perpendicularly through a given surface area, measured in webers or milliwebers.
