Convert Gigawebers to Maxwells
Convert Gigawebers (GWb) to Maxwells (Mx) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
Mx = GWb × 1.000000000e+17
About Gigawebers
The gigaweber (GWb) equals 10⁹ Wb. An extreme unit used in solar and astrophysical magnetic flux accounting - active solar regions and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are characterised by flux values in the GWb range. 1 GWb = 10⁹ Wb = 10¹⁷ Mx.
About Maxwells
The maxwell (Mx) equals exactly 10⁻⁸ Wb, the CGS unit of magnetic flux named after James Clerk Maxwell. Still widely used in permanent magnet and motor design datasheets; a typical 10 mm NdFeB disc magnet has a remanent flux of around 10 000-100 000 Mx. 1 Mx = 10⁻⁸ Wb.
