Microgaussnoun

(physics) A unit of magnetic field strength equal to one millionth of a gauss

Microgaussnoun

a unit of magnetic flux density equal to one millionth of a gauss

Gaussnoun

The unit of magnetic field strength in CGS systems of units, equal to 0.0001 tesla.

Gaussnoun

The C.G.S. unit of density of magnetic field, equal to a field of one line of force per square centimeter, being thus adopted as an international unit at Paris in 1900; sometimes used as a unit of intensity of magnetic field. It was previously suggested as a unit of magnetomotive force.

Gaussnoun

Karl F. Gauss, a German mathematician.

Gaussnoun

a unit of magnetic flux density equal to 1 maxwell per square centimeter

Gaussnoun

German mathematician who developed the theory of numbers and who applied mathematics to electricity and magnetism and astronomy and geodesy (1777-1855)
