Unit Story
Oersted
The oersted is a CGS magnetic field strength unit still seen in magnetics and older material data. One oersted is about 79.5775 A/m.
Kiloampere per meter
Kiloamperes per meter are useful for stronger coils, magnetic materials, and equipment tests where plain A/m numbers become large.

- Rounding
- Displayed to 6 decimal places by default, trimmed for readability. Use Detailed or Scientific for more precision.
- Assumption
- Magnetic field strength conversions use exact SI prefix relationships. One oersted equals 1000 divided by 4 pi amperes per meter, approximately 79.57747154594767 A/m. Field strength is not the same as magnetic flux density; converting between H and B requires material permeability and conditions.
