Conversion Formula
A/cm = A/m × 0.01
About Amperes per metre
The ampere per metre (A/m) is the SI coherent unit of magnetic field strength H, expressing the magnetomotive force per unit length. It defines how strongly a field drives magnetic flux through a material. Earth's geomagnetic H field is approximately 40-60 A/m; a typical transformer core operates at 100-1000 A/m. 1 A/m = 1 A m⁻¹.
About Amperes per centimetre
The ampere per centimetre (A/cm) equals 100 A/m. Widely used in European and Japanese magnetics datasheets and IEC standards; soft ferrite B-H curves in power electronics applications are frequently plotted with H in A/cm; magnetic core loss characterisation in IEC 60404 uses A/cm for H values. 1 A/cm = 100 A/m = 4π/10 Oe.
