1 Oersted [Oe] = 79.5775 Ampere per Meter [A/m]
1 Ampere per Centimeter [A/cm] = 100.000 Ampere per Meter [A/m]
Ampere per Centimeter to Ampere per Meter, Ampere per Meter to Ampere per Centimeter
How this magnetic field strength converter works
Ampere per Meter (A/m) is used as the internal base unit. Every value you enter is first converted to Ampere per Meter using exact SI factors, then translated to the requested unit with the same data pulled from the SI Brochure and NIST SP 811.
Key magnetic field strength relationships
- 1 Oersted = 79.5775 Ampere per Meter
- 1 Ampere per Centimeter = 100 Ampere per Meter
Where magnetic field strength units are used
Electromagnetics specialists, motor designers, and sensor engineers convert these units to compare materials and magnetic circuit performance. The magnetic field strength converter covers real-world units such as Ampere per Meter and Oersted, giving teams a trusted reference when cross-checking data between labs, suppliers, and regulatory filings.
Tips for accurate magnetic field strength conversions
- Always verify the unit symbol in your worksheet—this converter normalizes values through Ampere per Meter, which is the SI reference for magnetic field strength measurements.
- When jumping between Ampere per Meter and Oersted, watch metric prefixes and rounding. A misplaced milli-, micro-, or kilo- prefix can produce errors of several orders of magnitude.
- Document the context (test conditions, instrument resolution, uncertainty) whenever you publish magnetic field strength conversions so coworkers and auditors can reproduce your results.
