In summary, for the project of calculating the magnetic attraction or repulsion between two magnets orbiting a pivot, a standard equation is needed to convert gauss units to Newtons per meter. One gauss is equivalent to 10-3 Tesla or 10-4 N/m/A.

As CompuChip shows, your units are not directly equivalent. What are you trying to figure out for your project?

A Tesla is also a Newton per meter per ampere: N/m/A. Is that what you're going for?
Also 1 Gauss is 10-4 T.

I'm trying to calculate how the magnetic attraction or repulsion changes between two magnets while they are "orbiting" a pivot. But this will require a standard equation for converting units like gauss into units such as Newtons per meter.
 

FAQ: How do I convert gauss to Newtons per meter for magnetic calculations?

What is the magnetic equation conversion?

The magnetic equation conversion is a mathematical formula used to convert between different units of magnetic fields, such as Gauss and Tesla.

Why is it important to convert magnetic equations?

Converting magnetic equations is important because different units are used in different contexts, and it is necessary to be able to compare and analyze data from different sources.

What are the most commonly used units in magnetic equation conversion?

The most commonly used units in magnetic equation conversion are Gauss, Tesla, and Oersted.

How do I convert from Gauss to Tesla?

To convert from Gauss to Tesla, simply multiply the value in Gauss by 0.0001. For example, 1000 Gauss is equivalent to 0.1 Tesla.

Is there a formula for converting from Tesla to Gauss?

Yes, the formula for converting from Tesla to Gauss is: Gauss = Tesla x 10,000. For example, 0.5 Tesla is equivalent to 5000 Gauss.
