About the units
Oersted (Oe)
The oersted (Oe) is a unit of magnetic field strength (h) in the centimetre–gram–second (CGS) system. One oersted equals 79.57747155 amperes per meter (A/m).
Kiloampere per meter (kA/m)
The kiloampere per meter (kA/m) is a unit of magnetic field strength (h) in the International System of Units (SI). One kiloampere per meter equals 1,000 amperes per meter (A/m).
Frequently asked questions
How many kiloamperes per meter are in one oersted?
There are 0.07957747155 kiloamperes per meter in one oersted, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert oersteds to kiloamperes per meter?
Multiply the number of oersteds by 0.07957747155. For example, 10 Oe × 0.07957747155 = 0.7957747155 kA/m.
How many oersteds are in one kiloampere per meter?
