Kilooersted quick reference
| Kilooersted | Kiloampere per meter | Ampere per meter | Oersted |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kOe | ≈ 79.57747155 kA/m | ≈ 79577.47155 A/m | = 1000 Oe |
| 10 kOe | ≈ 795.7747155 kA/m | ≈ 795774.7155 A/m | = 10000 Oe |
| 100 kOe | ≈ 7957.747155 kA/m | ≈ 7957747.155 A/m | = 100000 Oe |
| 1000 kOe | ≈ 79577.47155 kA/m | ≈ 79577471.55 A/m | = 1000000 Oe |
Where the kilooersted fits
The next smaller magnetic field strength unit is the kiloampere per meter (kA/m). 1 kOe ≈ 79.57747155 kA/m, and 1 kA/m ≈ 0.01256637061 kOe.
