The conversion from gauss (G) to amperes per meter (A/m) is not directly permissible due to the fundamental differences between the units. Gauss is a CGS unit for the magnetic field (B), while A/m is an SI unit for the magnetizing field (H). The relationship between these units is defined by the equation B = μH, where μ represents the permeability of the medium. In vacuum, μ is a constant (μ₀), but in materials like air, it varies, which can affect the conversion, especially in ferromagnetic materials.
PREREQUISITESPhysicists, electrical engineers, and students studying electromagnetism who require a clear understanding of magnetic field measurements and unit conversions.
Thanks.M Quack said:Stricktly speaking the SI-equivalent of the CGS-unit Gauss is the Tesla, 1T= 1Vs/m^2.
1T = 10000 G
The difference between T and A/m is that the magnetic field B (measured in T) takes into account the permeability of the medium. B = mu H
In vacuum, the permeability is a constant, mu_0. In a material, such as air, the permeability is different from mu_0. In many cases the difference
is very very small and can be neglected. This, however, is not true in all cases, e.g. ferromagnets.
