1.5.10. Transformation from Gaussian to SI units

| top | pdf |

Numerical values of magnetic quantities are given in Gaussian units in this chapter. For each quantity that appears in a table or figure, Table 1.5.10.1[link] gives the corresponding Gaussian unit and its value expressed in SI units. More details on the transformation between Gaussian and SI units are given e.g. in the Appendix of Jackson (1999[link]).
