Magnetic Field Strength: Conversion Factors

Some conversion factors between the various units of magnetic field strength are as follows:

\(\ds \)

\(=\)

\(\ds 1\)

ampere turns per metre

\(\ds \)

\(\approx\)

\(\ds 4 \pi \times 10^{-3}\)

oersted (or e.m.u. of magnetic field strength)

\(\ds \)

\(\)

\(\ds 3 \times 10^9\)

e.s.u. of magnetic field strength
