The defining relation is, Multiply « number in Gaussian units by C to conver it to SI e.g. | Gx10~* T/G=10-* 7), SI (Systéme Znternational d'Unités) has been adopted by the National Bureau of Standards. Where two conversion factors are tiven, the upper one is recognized under, or consistent with, SI and is based on the definition B=yo(H¥ +M), where 47x 10-" H/m. The lower one is not recognized under SI and is based on the definition B =olf +J, where the symbol Tis often used in place of J 1 gauss= 10° amma (7) Both oersted and gauss are expressed as em™!g!?-s~! in terms of base units ‘A/m was often expressed as “ampere-turn per meter” when used for magnetic field strength, Magnetic moment per unit volume. ‘The designation “emu isnot a unit. Recognized under SI, even though based on the definition B =yoH1 +J.
