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?
