How to Convert Oersteds to Gauss
In a vacuum, the magnetic field strength in gauss is equal to the magnetic field strength in oersteds. Therefore, the conversion is a simple 1:1 ratio.
Formula
Gauss = Oersteds × 1
or
G = Oe × 1
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in oersteds
- The result is the equivalent amount in gauss
Examples
- 1 Oe = 1 G
- 10 Oe = 10 G
- 100 Oe = 100 G
When to Convert Oersteds to Gauss
This conversion is essential for engineers and physicists working with magnetic fields, as both oersteds and gauss are common units for such measurements, especially in the CGS system of units.
Common Oersteds to Gauss Conversions
Here is a table of common oersted to gauss conversions for quick reference:
| Oersteds (Oe) | Gauss (G) | Oersteds (Oe) | Gauss (G) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 100 | 100 |
| 10 | 10 | 10,000 | 10,000 |
| 50 | 50 | 100,000 | 100,000 |
| 100 | 100 | 1,000,000 | 1,000,000 |
Frequently Asked Questions
How many gauss are in an oersted?
In a vacuum, there is 1 gauss in one oersted.
Why is the conversion factor 1?
In the CGS system of units, the magnetic field strength (H) in oersteds and the magnetic flux density (B) in gauss are numerically equal in a vacuum.
