Oersted

In the CGS system, the unit of the H-field is the oersted and the unit of the B‑field is the gauss.

According to the system of Gaussian units (cgs), the gauss is the unit of magnetic flux density B and the equivalent of Mx/cm 2, while the oersted is the unit of magnetizing field H.

The oersted (symbol Oe) is the unit of the auxiliary magnetic field H in the centimetre–gram–second system of units (CGS).  It is equivalent to 1 dyne per maxwell.

For instance electric field strength is in units of volts per centimetre, magnetic field strength is in oersteds and resistivity is in ohm-cm.

The unit was established by the IEC in 1930 in honour of the Danish physicist Hans Christian Ørsted.

Oersted's law and the oersted (Oe) are named after him.

In the SI system, the unit ampere per meter (A/m), which is equivalent to newton/weber, is used for the H‑field and the unit of tesla is used for the B‑field.

For the relation to the units of the magnetising field (ampere per metre or Oersted), see the article on permeability.

-field is measured in amperes per metre (A/m) in SI units, and in oersteds (Oe) in cgs units.

The oersted is 1000/4π (≈79.5774715) amperes per meter, in terms of SI units.

The oersted (symbol Oe) is the unit of the auxiliary magnetic field H in the centimetre–gram–second system of units (CGS).  It is equivalent to 1 dyne per maxwell. The oersted is defined as a dyne per unit pole.

The H-field strength inside a long solenoid wound with 79.58 turns per meter of a wire carrying 1 A is approximately 1 oersted.

Because oersteds are used to measure magnetizing field strength, they are also related to the magnetomotive force (mmf) of current in a single-winding wire-loop:

Coercivity is usually measured in oersted or ampere/meter units and is denoted H C.

Different floppy disk types had different recording characteristics, with varying magnetic coercivity (measured in oersteds, or in modern SI units in amperes per meter), ferrite grain size, and tracks per inch (TPI).

Therefore, as the maximum energy density is proportional to J s 2, this magnetic phase has the potential for storing large amounts of magnetic energy (BH max ≈ 512kJ/m 3 or 64MG·Oe).
