How to Convert Milliwebers to Maxwells
To convert milliwebers to maxwells, multiply the magnetic flux by the following conversion ratio: 100,000 maxwells/milliweber.
Since one milliweber is equal to 100,000 maxwells, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The magnetic flux in maxwells is equal to the magnetic flux in milliwebers multiplied by 100,000.
For example, here's how to convert 5 milliwebers to maxwells using the formula above.
How Many Maxwells Are in a Milliweber?
There are 100,000 maxwells in a milliweber, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
Our milliweber to maxwell calculator automatically converts your magnetic flux measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.
Milliwebers and maxwells are both units used to measure magnetic flux. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
What Is a Milliweber?
A milliweber is a unit of magnetic flux equal to 1/1,000 of a weber (0.001 Wb). One-thousandth of a Weber (0.001 Wb). [1]
The milliweber is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of magnetic flux. Milliwebers can be abbreviated as mWb; for example, 1 milliweber can be written as 1 mWb.
In the metric system, "milli" is the standard SI prefix for thousandths, or 10⁻³. This makes the milliweber (mWb) a convenient decimal multiple of the weber (Wb).
In practice, milliwebers (mWb) are widely used across fine-tolerance laboratory, analytical, and micro-scale magnetic flux measurements within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
What Is a Maxwell?
A maxwell is a unit of magnetic flux equal to 1/100,000,000 of a weber (0.00000001 Wb). CGS magnetic flux unit equal to 10⁻⁸ Webers. [2]
The maxwell is classified as a standard unit of magnetic flux. Maxwells can be abbreviated as Mx; for example, 1 maxwell can be written as 1 Mx.
When working with maxwells (Mx) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.
In practice, maxwells (Mx) are widely used across fine-tolerance laboratory, analytical, and micro-scale magnetic flux measurements within international standard workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
When converting magnetic flux between milliwebers (mWb) and maxwells (Mx), keep full floating-point precision (1 mWb = 100,000 Mx; 1 Mx = 0.00001 mWb) during intermediate calculations and round only the final maxwell figure to match your instrument tolerance.
