What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms magnetomotive force values measured in abampere turns (abAt), a CGS-EMU unit, into ampere turns (At), the SI unit. It simplifies updating older electromagnetic calculations and assists with educational comparisons of unit systems.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the magnetomotive force value in abampere turns [abAt].
-
Select the abampere turn as the input unit and ampere turn as the output unit.
-
Click the convert button to get the result in ampere turns [At].
Key Features

Refer to educational materials to understand the differences between CGS-EMU and SI units.
Limitations
-
The abampere turn is mostly obsolete except for historical or educational contexts.
-
Directly applying abampere turn values without conversion may cause errors in modern designs.
-
Mixing unit systems without proper conversion can lead to inaccurate results.

Key Terminology
-
Abampere turn [abAt]
-
A CGS-EMU unit of magnetomotive force equal to one abampere of current flowing around a single-turn coil, equivalent to 10 ampere turns in SI.
-
Ampere turn [At]
-
The SI unit of magnetomotive force calculated as the product of current in amperes and number of coil turns, representing magnetic potential.
-
Magnetomotive force (MMF)
-
The magnetic potential that drives magnetic flux in a circuit, calculated as the line integral of magnetic field strength along a path.
