Convert Kiloamperes per metre to Gigaamperes per metre
Convert Kiloamperes per metre (kA/m) to Gigaamperes per metre (GA/m) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
GA/m = kA/m × 1.000000000e-6
About Kiloamperes per metre
The kiloampere per metre (kA/m) equals 10³ A/m. The primary practical unit for strong magnetic fields - MRI scanner bore fields of 1-3 T correspond to 800 kA/m-2.4 MA/m in free space; coercivity of hard ferrite permanent magnets (ceramic) is 150-300 kA/m; NdFeB magnets have coercivity 900-2000 kA/m. 1 kA/m = 10³ A/m ≈ 12.566 Oe.
About Gigaamperes per metre
The gigaampere per metre (GA/m) equals 10⁹ A/m. Encountered only in extreme physics - neutron stars (magnetars) have surface fields of 10⁹-10¹¹ T, corresponding to GA/m to TA/m H-fields; plasma pinch experiments in z-pinch fusion drivers transiently achieve GA/m field strengths along the pinch axis. 1 GA/m = 10⁹ A/m.
