Convert between ampere/meter (A/m), oersted (Oe), and other magnetic field strength units with scientific precision.
The SI unit of magnetic field strength, defined as the magnetomotive force per unit length. 1 A/m = 1 ampere per meter of coil length. Also known as the magnetic intensity or magnetic field strength.
Common uses: Electromagnet design, magnetic material characterization, transformer analysis, inductor specifications, and magnetic circuit calculations.
Equivalent to ampere per meter in practical applications. 1 At/m = 1 A/m. This unit emphasizes the magnetomotive force concept in magnetic circuits.
Application: Magnetic circuit analysis, relay design, and magnetic shielding calculations where turn count is explicitly considered.
One thousand amperes per meter. 1 kA/m = 1,000 A/m. Used for extremely strong magnetic fields found in specialized applications.
Application: High-field electromagnets, superconducting magnets, magnetic particle inspection, and advanced materials research.
A CGS (centimeter-gram-second) unit of magnetic field strength. 1 Oe ≈ 79.577 A/m (or 1 A/m ≈ 0.01256637 Oe). Named after physicist Hans Christian Ørsted.
Historical context: Part of the CGS system, widely used in older scientific literature and still common in certain industries like magnetism research and magnetic materials testing.
