釋義

馬克士威

磁通量的CGS單位

A maxwell is a scientific unit for measuring magnetic flux in the CGS system. One maxwell equals the magnetic force passing through a one-square-centimeter surface held at a right angle to a uniform field with a strength of one gauss.

例句

In the physics report, one maxwell was defined as the magnetic flux crossing a surface of one square centimeter.

物理報告中,一馬克士威被定義為通過一平方公分表面的磁通量。

definition context: one maxwell equals…

Naoko calculated that the small electromagnet produced a magnetic flux of roughly 250 maxwells.

Naoko 計算出那個小型電磁鐵產生的磁通量大約是 250 馬克士威。

同義詞
  • Mx

    Standard abbreviation; used in equations and tables instead of writing 'maxwell'

  • line of magnetic flux

    Historical equivalent; one maxwell was originally defined as one line of force per square centimetre

measured in maxwells

用法筆記

Rare outside of physics and engineering contexts. In the modern SI system the standard unit of magnetic flux is the weber (Wb); one maxwell equals 10⁻⁸ weber. The abbreviation is Mx.

常見錯誤

The magnetic field strength was 100 maxwells.
The magnetic field strength was 100 gauss.
Maxwells measure magnetic flux, not field strength.
One maxwell equals one weber.
One maxwell equals 10⁻⁸ weber.
The maxwell is much smaller than the weber (1 Wb = 10⁸ Mx).
The magnet produced 50 maxwells of field intensity.
The magnet produced 50 maxwells of magnetic flux.
Intensity and flux are different physical quantities.
