Oersted (Oe)

Definition: A unit of magnetic field strength in the CGS system.

History: Named after Hans Christian Ørsted.

Current Use: Used in magnetics and older scientific literature.

Did you know?

  • The tesla is the SI unit for magnetic flux density, named after Nikola Tesla.
  • The Earth's magnetic field is about 25 to 65 microteslas (0.25 to 0.65 gauss).
  • The strongest permanent magnet can produce about 1.4 tesla.
