Oersted Unit | Vibepedia

The oersted unit is a derived unit of magnetic field strength in the CGS-EMU system, equivalent to 1 dyne per maxwell. It is used to measure the auxiliary magnetic field H. The oersted unit is named after Hans Christian Ørsted, a Danish physicist who discovered the relationship between electricity and magnetism. The unit is still widely used in physics and engineering applications, particularly in the study of magnetic fields and materials.
