Common Use Cases
-
Design and analysis of transformers and inductors specifying total magnetic flux linking coil windings.
-
Calculation of induced electromotive force (EMF) in generators and motors via magnetic flux rates.
-
Expressing small magnetic flux values in CGS units for laboratory measurements or legacy literature.
-
Comparing magnetic flux data between SI and CGS units during electromagnetic instrument calibration and design.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Double-check unit selections to avoid confusion between SI and CGS systems.
-
Be cautious when converting large magnetic flux values as they result in very large gauss·cm² numbers.
-
Use the tool for cross-referencing historical data with modern measurements.
-
Consider the context of measurements to choose the appropriate unit system.
Limitations
-
Gauss square centimeter is a much smaller unit, so large weber inputs generate very large output values.
-
Differences in dimensional conventions between CGS and SI units can cause misunderstandings if not carefully considered.
