Abampere-turn quick reference
| Abampere-turn | Ampere-turn | Gilbert | Kiloampere-turn |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 abAt | = 10 At | ≈ 12.56637061 Gi | = 0.01 kAt |
| 10 abAt | = 100 At | ≈ 125.6637061 Gi | = 0.1 kAt |
| 100 abAt | = 1000 At | ≈ 1256.637061 Gi | = 1 kAt |
| 1000 abAt | = 10000 At | ≈ 12566.37061 Gi | = 10 kAt |
Where the abampere-turn fits
The next smaller magnetomotive force unit is the ampere-turn (At). 1 abAt = 10 At, and 1 At = 0.1 abAt.
The next larger magnetomotive force unit is the kiloampere-turn (kAt). 1 abAt = 0.01 kAt, and 1 kAt = 100 abAt.
