Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around converting the permeability of free space from units of tesla per meter (TA/m) to gauss per electromagnetic unit (gauss/EMU) and understanding the relationship with the constant 4π.

Discussion Character

  • Conceptual clarification, Mathematical reasoning

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants explore unit conversions for magnetic induction and field intensity, questioning how these relate to the permeability constant.

Discussion Status

Some participants have provided unit conversion factors and attempted to express the permeability in different units. There is ongoing exploration of the relationship between these units and the constant 4π, with no explicit consensus reached.

Contextual Notes

Participants are working with specific unit conversions and constants, and there may be assumptions regarding the definitions of magnetic induction and field intensity that are being examined.

for the permeabilty of space constant, how do you change the units from TA/m to gauss/emu? or for what unit does that constant equal 4pi?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The permeabilty of 'free' space, [itex]\mu[/itex] = B/H,

so simply convert B and H from MKSA to esu/emu units.

For Magnetic Induction (B), 1 Wb/m2 = 104gauss, and
for Magnetic Field Intensity (H), 1 A-turn/m = 4[itex]\pi[/itex]x10-3oersted

In free space [itex]\mu_o[/itex] = 4[itex]\pi[/itex] x 10-7 henry/m.

See -- http://www.its.caltech.edu/~culick/Roschke.pdf
 
so it equals 4pi esu/emu ?
 
[itex]\mu_o[/itex]=[4 x 10-7 W/Am]*[10^4 (gauss*m^2)/W]*[10^3 (emu/cm^3)]=4pi emu*m/Acm^3?
