Kiloampere per Metre (kA/m)
The kiloampere per metre is 1000 A/m. Coercivity (Hc, HcJ) of permanent magnets is usually given in kA/m.
Symbol: kA/m
Quantity: magnetic field strength (H field) and coercivity
SI relation: 1 kA/m = 1000 A/m (exact)
Derivation: 1 kA/m = 1000 A/m
Exact: yes, by definition
Typical uses
- Permanent magnet coercivity (for example 900–2000 kA/m for NdFeB)
- Soft magnetic material data sheets
Convert kiloamperes per metre to other units
| Conversion | 1 kA/m equals | Reverse |
|---|---|---|
| kiloampere per metre to ampere per metre | 1000 A/m | ampere per metre to kiloampere per metre |
| kiloampere per metre to oersted | 12.56637061 Oe | oersted to kiloampere per metre |
| kiloampere per metre to kilooersted | 0.01256637061 kOe | kilooersted to kiloampere per metre |
| kiloampere per metre to ampere per centimetre | 10 A/cm | ampere per centimetre to kiloampere per metre |
