[Magnetic field strength, H]
Magnetic field strength, H
Vector unit that expresses the strength of a magnetic field
In the SI system, the magnetic field strength is expressed in amperes per metre or A/m.
An older unit, from the Gaussian-CGS system, is the Oersted (≈ 79.5775 A/m).
The magnetic field strength is usually given as the symbol H and is the counterpart of the magnetic flux density B. Also called magnetic induction. Read more about Maxwell’s laws on Wikipedia.
