What Is This Tool?

This tool enables conversion of magnetomotive force values from the gilbert unit, used in older CGS-EMU systems, to the ampere turn unit, which is standard in modern SI electromagnetic applications.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the magnetomotive force value in gilberts (Gi).
  • Select gilbert as the original unit and ampere turn as the target unit.
  • Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in ampere turns (At).

Key Features

  • Converts magnetomotive force from gilbert to ampere turn.
  • Uses accurate conversion based on the fixed relation 1 Gi = 0.7957747151 At.
  • Ideal for interpreting legacy or historical magnetomotive force data.
  • Web-based and simple to use without installation.

Examples

  • 5 gilberts (Gi) equals approximately 3.9789 ampere turns (At).
  • 10 gilberts (Gi) equals approximately 7.9577 ampere turns (At).

Common Use Cases

  • Translating historical magnetomotive force data to the SI unit system for compatibility.
  • Designing magnetic circuits, transformers, or inductors based on older electromagnetic measurements.
  • Calculating magnetizing forces for coils using legacy data in modern electrical engineering tasks.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure the context of your data to confirm using gilbert is appropriate.
  • Double-check unit consistency when mixing CGS-EMU and SI unit systems.
  • Use this converter to improve accuracy when updating legacy magnetic circuit measurements.

Limitations

  • The gilbert is a largely outdated unit appearing mostly in historical documents.
  • Be aware of minor rounding differences arising from the use of π in the gilbert definition.
  • Always verify the applicability of gilbert units for your specific use case.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the gilbert unit used for?
The gilbert is a CGS-EMU unit of magnetomotive force mainly used in older electromagnetic literature and legacy measurements.

How is an ampere turn defined?
An ampere turn represents magnetomotive force as the product of electric current in amperes and the number of turns in a coil.

Why convert gilbert to ampere turn?
Converting gilbert to ampere turn translates historical MMF data into SI units for modern electromagnetic design and analysis.

Key Terminology

Gilbert (Gi)
A CGS-EMU unit for magnetomotive force representing magnetic potential, equal to 10/(4π) ampere turns.
Ampere turn (At)
An SI unit of magnetomotive force defined as the product of electric current in amperes and coil turns.
Magnetomotive force (MMF)
The magnetic potential that drives magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit, analogous to electromotive force in electric circuits.
