What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms values of magnetomotive force from milliampere turn (mAt), a unit expressing current times coil turns in SI terms, to gilbert (Gi), the CGS-EMU unit used in magnetic circuit analysis. It assists in bridging modern SI units with historical CGS measurements.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in milliampere turn (mAt) you wish to convert.
  • Select milliampere turn as the input unit and gilbert as the output unit.
  • Click the convert button to see the magnetomotive force in gilberts.
  • Use the output for magnetic circuit design or analysis involving legacy and SI data.

Key Features

  • Converts magnetomotive force between milliampere turn and gilbert units accurately.
  • Supports analysis and comparison of SI and CGS-EMU standard data.
  • Provides quick calculations for magnetic circuit and electromagnetic engineering tasks.
  • Includes examples to demonstrate common conversions.
  • Browser-based and user-friendly interface.

Examples

  • 10 milliampere turn (mAt) converts to 0.012566371 gilbert (Gi).
  • 50 milliampere turn (mAt) converts to 0.062831855 gilbert (Gi).

Common Use Cases

  • Expressing excitation levels of small electromagnets and solenoids in sensors and actuators.
  • Designing magnetic circuits for inductors, transformers, and magnetic sensors using coil current and turns.
  • Interpreting magnetomotive force values in legacy literature and older CGS-based standards.
  • Converting historical coils drive measurements to SI units for modern electrical device analysis.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure correct unit selection matching the source and target measurement systems.
  • Use this converter to compare legacy gilbert data with modern ampere-turn measurements for clarity.
  • Understand that gilbert is an approximate CGS unit and to handle conversions carefully to avoid errors.
  • Refer to provided examples to validate your conversion entries.

Limitations

  • Gilbert is a non-SI unit from the CGS system and requires careful conversion to avoid unit confusion.
  • Rounding in the approximate conversion value between gilberts and ampere-turns can affect precision.
  • Not suitable for applications requiring extremely high numerical accuracy due to unit system differences.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does milliampere turn represent in magnetic circuits?
Milliampere turn is a unit of magnetomotive force equal to one milliampere of current multiplied by one coil turn, used to quantify the product of current and turns generating magnetic force.

Why convert milliampere turn to gilbert units?
Converting helps translate magnetomotive force values between modern SI units and the older CGS-EMU system for comparison and analysis of legacy data and standards.

Is the gilbert unit part of the International System of Units (SI)?
No, the gilbert is a CGS-EMU unit and not officially part of the SI system, so conversions are needed when working across unit standards.

Key Terminology

Milliampere turn (mAt)
A unit of magnetomotive force equal to one milliampere of current multiplied by one turn of a coil, representing the excitation in SI terms.
Gilbert (Gi)
The CGS-EMU unit of magnetomotive force defined as 10 divided by (4π) ampere-turns, used in legacy magnetic circuit analysis.
Magnetomotive Force (MMF)
A quantity representing the magnetic potential or driving force produced by electric current flowing in coil turns.
