Magnetomotive force converter
What drives magnetic flux round a circuit. 4 units, converted from one table of exact factors.
—
1 ampere-turn in every other magnetomotive force unit
Computed by the same engine that runs the converter above, so these can never drift apart from it.
| From | Equals | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| 1 ampere-turn | 1 | ampere (A) |
| 1 ampere-turn | 0.001 | kiloampere-turn (kAt) |
| 1 ampere-turn | 1.256637061 | gilbert (Gb) |
What each unit actually is
Most converters give you a number and stop. Where a figure is exact by definition we say so, and where it is an average or shifts with conditions we say that too — that is usually the thing you needed to know.
| Unit | Symbol | What it actually is |
|---|---|---|
| ampere-turn | At | Amps times the number of coil turns. |
| ampere | A | The same quantity for a single turn. |
| kiloampere-turn | kAt | |
| gilbert | Gb | The CGS unit. |
