Kilomaxwell quick reference
| Kilomaxwell | Weber | Maxwell | Milliweber |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kMx | = 0.00001 Wb | = 1000 Mx | = 0.01 mWb |
| 10 kMx | = 0.0001 Wb | = 10000 Mx | = 0.1 mWb |
| 100 kMx | = 0.001 Wb | = 100000 Mx | = 1 mWb |
| 1000 kMx | = 0.01 Wb | = 1000000 Mx | = 10 mWb |
Where the kilomaxwell fits
The next smaller magnetic flux unit is the microweber (µWb). 1 kMx = 10 µWb, and 1 µWb = 0.1 kMx.
The next larger magnetic flux unit is the milliweber (mWb). 1 kMx = 0.01 mWb, and 1 mWb = 100 kMx.
