MaxwellMx
Target UnitThe maxwell (Mx) is the unit of magnetic flux in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It is defined as the amount of magnetic flux that, when linked with a circuit, will induce an electromotive force of one abvolt in that circuit. One maxwell is equivalent to one weber divided by 10,000, and mathematically can be expressed as: 1 Mx = 1 Wb / 10,000. This unit serves as a measure of the total magnetic field passing through a given area and is crucial in the study of electromagnetism.
Current Use
Today, the maxwell is primarily used in academic and research settings, particularly in fields that study electromagnetic phenomena. While the SI unit weber has become the standard for most practical applications, the maxwell is still referenced in various scientific literature and discussions. It is particularly useful in educational contexts for illustrating concepts of magnetic flux and field interactions.
Fun Fact
The maxwell is rarely used in industry, but remains a staple in theoretical discussions about electromagnetism.

This unit serves as a measure of the total magnetic field passing through a given area and is crucial in the study of electromagnetism.
History & Origin
The maxwell unit was named in honor of the Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell, who made significant contributions to the field of electromagnetism in the 19th century. Maxwell's equations, formulated in the 1860s, describe how electric and magnetic fields interact and propagate through space. His work laid the foundation for modern electrical engineering and physics, and the maxwell was established as a unit of magnetic flux in recognition of his contributions to the understanding of these phenomena.
Etymology: The term 'maxwell' derives from the name of James Clerk Maxwell, reflecting his pivotal role in the development of electromagnetic theory.
