What Is This Tool?

This online converter transforms magnetomotive force measurements from gilbert, a CGS-EMU unit named after William Gilbert, into kiloampere turn units, which are commonly used in modern magnetic circuit and electromagnetic device design.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the magnetomotive force value in gilberts (Gi)
  • Select gilbert as the input unit and kiloampere turn (kAt) as the output unit
  • Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in kiloampere turns
  • Interpret the converted result to support magnetic circuit design or analysis

Key Features

  • Converts legacy gilbert values to kiloampere turn units
  • Browser-based tool requiring no installation
  • Supports magnetomotive force measurements for engineering applications
  • Displays conversion results using the exact factor 1 Gi = 0.0007957747 kAt

Examples

  • 10 Gilberts equals 0.007957747 kiloampere turns
  • 100 Gilberts equals 0.07957747 kiloampere turns

Common Use Cases

  • Converting older MMF data from CGS-based literature for modern analysis
  • Designing coils and electromagnets with required excitation current and turns
  • Calculating magnetic forces for large-scale electrical machines and superconducting magnets
  • Analyzing magnetic circuits in transformers, inductors, and magnetic actuators

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify units carefully when working with legacy CGS data
  • Use precise values to avoid errors in large-scale magnetic design
  • Cross-check converted values when working with very small gilbert measurements
  • Understand the engineering context when applying kiloampere turn values

Limitations

  • Gilbert is a legacy unit not commonly used in modern practice
  • Conversion requires care when interpreting old CGS measurements
  • Very small gilbert values produce tiny kiloampere-turn results demanding precision

Frequently Asked Questions

What does one gilbert represent in ampere-turns?
One gilbert corresponds to 10 divided by 4π ampere-turns, quantifying the magnetomotive force in the CGS-EMU system.

Why convert from gilbert to kiloampere turn?
Conversion is useful to translate older electromagnetic measurements into modern units appropriate for design and analysis of magnetic devices.

Is the gilbert unit still widely used today?
No, the gilbert is primarily a legacy unit from the CGS system and not typically used in contemporary engineering practice.

Key Terminology

Gilbert [Gi]
A CGS-EMU unit of magnetomotive force named after William Gilbert, representing magnetic potential in legacy magnetic circuit measurements.
Kiloampere turn [kAt]
A derived engineering unit expressing magnetomotive force as 1,000 ampere-turns, used for large-scale magnetic circuit and electromagnet design.
Magnetomotive force (MMF)
The magnetic driving quantity produced by current in a coil, analogous to electromotive force in electric circuits.
