Linear Current Density Converter
Comprehensive Linear Current Density Converter
Linear current density measures the amount of electric current flowing per unit length. Our Linear Current Density Converter enables you to convert between various units—from the SI unit ampere per meter (A/m) to alternative expressions such as ampere per centimeter, ampere per inch, and units based on the abampere, as well as magnetic field units like oersted and gilbert per centimeter. This tool is essential for engineers and scientists working in electromagnetics and transmission line design.
What Units Are Covered?
Our converter supports a complete range of linear current density units with conversion factors defined relative to ampere/meter [A/m]:
Ampere/meter [A/m] (base unit)
Ampere/centimeter [A/cm]: 1 A/cm = 100 A/m.
Ampere/inch [A/in]: 1 A/in ≈ 39.3700787402 A/m.
Abampere/meter [abA/m]: 1 abA/m = 10 A/m.
Abampere/centimeter: 1 abA/cm = 1000 A/m.
Abampere/inch [abA/in]: 1 abA/in ≈ 393.7007874016 A/m.
Oersted [Oe]: 1 Oe ≈ 79.5774715102 A/m.
Gilbert/centimeter [Gi/cm]: 1 Gi/cm ≈ 79.5774715102 A/m.
How Does It Work?
Our converter uses a two-step process:
Convert to the Base Unit:
The input value is first converted into ampere per meter (A/m) using the conversion factor for the selected “From” unit.Convert to the Target Unit:
The value in A/m is then converted to your chosen “To” unit using its corresponding conversion factor.
This method ensures precise and consistent conversions for all your linear current density calculations.
