oersted
Sign in to saveThe oersted (, symbol Oe) is the coherent derived unit of the auxiliary magnetic field H in the CGS-EMU and Gaussian systems of units. It is equivalent to 1 dyne per maxwell.

The oersted (, symbol Oe) is the coherent derived unit of the auxiliary magnetic field H in the CGS-EMU and Gaussian systems of units. It is equivalent to 1 dyne per maxwell.
== Difference between Gaussian and SI systems == In the Gaussian system, the unit of the H-field is the oersted and the unit of the B-field is the gauss. In the SI, the unit ampere per metre (A/m), which is equivalent to newton per weber, is used for the H-field and the unit tesla is used for the B-field.
