Magnetic Field Strength Conversion Formulas

Use the following formulas to convert between amperes per meter, kiloamperes per meter, and oersteds.

Amperes per Meter to Kiloamperes per Meter
kA/m = A/m × 0.001
Kiloamperes per Meter to Amperes per Meter
A/m = kA/m × 1,000
Amperes per Meter to Oersteds
Oe = A/m × 0.01257
Example: Convert 10 Amperes per Meter (A/m) to Kiloamperes per Meter (kA/m)
1 A/m = 0.001 kA/m
10 A/m × 0.001 = 0.01 kA/m

All magnetic field strength conversions are anchored to the international SI base unit (Ampere per Meter (H-Field)) for full scientific and engineering accuracy.
