The unit of magnetic induction and of magnetic flux density in the cgs system One gauss = one maxwell/square centimeter One gauss also equals 100,000 gamma
CGS unit of measurement for magnetic fields; usually milligauss (mG) is used, 1/1000 of a Gauss 10 mG = 1 µT, (micro Tesla )
unit of density of magnetic field, equal to a field of one line of force per square centimeter, being thus adopted as an international unit at Paris in 1900; sometimes used as a unit of intensity of magnetic field
Lines of magnetic flux per square centimeter, cgs unit of flux density, equivalent to lines per square inch in the English system, and Webers per square meter or Tesla in the SI system
German mathematician who developed the theory of numbers and who applied mathematics to electricity and magnetism and astronomy and geodesy (1777-1855)
Measure of flux density in Maxwells per square centimeter of cross- sectional area One gauss is iC-4 Tesla
A unit of magnetic induction, equal to 1 Maxwell per square centimeter Higher Gauss measurements mean more power can be induced to flow in an alternator Gauss readings can be increased by putting steel behind magnets, stacking magnets, or using larger or higher-grade magnets
A unit used to measure magnetic field strength The intensity of the earth's magnetic field, near the surface of the earth, is on the order of one-half gauss (0 1 Telsa)
Unit of intensity of a magnetic field equal to a field of one line of force per cm2
