Ampere per Centimetre (A/cm)
The ampere per centimetre is 100 A/m. It appears in magnetic particle testing standards and soft-magnetic material data.
Symbol: A/cm
Quantity: magnetic field strength (H field) and coercivity
SI relation: 1 A/cm = 100 A/m (exact)
Derivation: 1 A/cm = 100 A/m
Exact: yes, by definition
Typical uses
- Magnetic particle inspection (tangential field, for example 20–60 A/cm)
- Soft magnetic materials
