Gilbert (unit)
The gilbert (Symbol: Gb) is an obsolete unit used in practical cgs and emu cgs systems to measure magnetization. The unit is named for English physicist William Gilbert.
Definition in magnetization:
- 1 Gb = (1/4π) Bi-turn
Conversion to ampere-turns:
- 1 Gb = (10/4π) A-turn = 0.7957747 A-turn
- 1 A-turn ≡ 4π × 10−1 Gb
