Oersted (unit symbol Oe ; after the Danish physicist Hans Christian Ørsted ) is the unit of magnetic field strength in the Gaussian and electromagnetic CGS system of units . It has not been an official unit since 1970 .
An oersted was defined as the magnetic field strength at which the force 1 dyn acts on a unit pole .
Full definition
In magnetostatics, a unit pole is the analogue of the electric charge in electrostatics. In a magnetostatic quantity system, "Coulomb's law for magnetic poles" applies
- .
Two uniform poles of the same kind have a pole strength if they repel each other with a force at a distance in a vacuum . At one point of a magnetic field has the field strength
the value of one oersted when a unit pole experiences a force from one dyn.
conversion
The unit Oersted has no equivalent in the SI system of units , because the magnetic field strength in the associated international size system has a different dimension . A field strength in Oersted corresponds to a field strength in amperes per meter of:
By multiplying by the magnetic field constant , a magnetic flux density of 1 Gs in the Gaussian CGS system of units or of 100 µ T in the SI system of units is obtained in a vacuum (where, since the new definition of the SI units in 2019, the relationship μ 0 = 4π · 10 - 7 Vs / Am only approximately applies):
The energy product of permanent magnets is often given in M G · Oe.
