How to Convert Volt Seconds to Maxwells
To convert volt seconds to maxwells, multiply the magnetic flux by the following conversion ratio: 100,000,000 maxwells/volt second.
Since one volt second is equal to 100,000,000 maxwells, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The magnetic flux in maxwells is equal to the magnetic flux in volt seconds multiplied by 100,000,000.
For example, here's how to convert 5 volt seconds to maxwells using the formula above.
How Many Maxwells Are in a Volt Second?
There are 100,000,000 maxwells in a volt second, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
Our volt second to maxwell calculator automatically converts your magnetic flux measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.
Volt Seconds and maxwells are both units used to measure magnetic flux. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
What Is a Volt Second?
A volt second is a unit of magnetic flux equal to 1 webers (Wb), the base unit for magnetic flux. Equivalent SI expression for 1 Weber. [1]
The volt second is classified as an International System of Units (SI) unit of magnetic flux. Volt Seconds can be abbreviated as V·s; for example, 1 volt second can be written as 1 V·s.
When working with volt seconds (V·s) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.
In practice, volt seconds (V·s) are widely used across standard magnetic flux applications within International System of Units (SI) 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 volt seconds (V·s) and maxwells (Mx), keep full floating-point precision (1 V·s = 100,000,000 Mx; 1 Mx = 0.00000001 V·s) during intermediate calculations and round only the final maxwell figure to match your instrument tolerance.
