How This Tool Works

This converter changes magnetic flux density between lines per square centimeter (line/cm²) and Gauss (G). In the CGS system, one magnetic line is one maxwell, and 1 line/cm² = 1 G.

Enter a value in line/cm² and the result updates immediately. Use the swap control to convert from Gauss back to line/cm² with the same 1:1 relationship.

  • Input: Lines per square centimeter or Gauss.
  • Conversion factor: 1 line/cm² = 1 G.
  • Output: Equivalent magnetic flux density in the opposite unit.

Why This Matters in Magnetics

Older CGS references may describe magnetic flux density in lines per square centimeter, while many modern notes use Gauss for the same CGS quantity. Keeping the units explicit helps compare historical data, lab notes, and engineering references without changing the measured field value.

For SI work, convert Gauss to tesla separately using 1 G = 10-4 T.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the lines/cm² to G Converter

Magnetic field strength is measured in Tesla (SI) or Gauss (CGS). 1 Tesla = 10,000 Gauss. Earth magnetic field is about 50 microtesla.
