Use the Magnetomotive Force Converter
Magnetomotive Force formula and what each symbol means
target = value × (factor of starting unit ÷ factor of target unit), where each factor is the unit value in At.
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| value | The number you want to convert |
| factor | The unit’s size expressed in the base unit (At) |
Magnetomotive Force examples
At to Gb
10 At = 12.56637 Gb.
At to kAt
10 At = 0.01 kAt.
Gb to At
10 Gb = 7.957747 At.
How to calculate Magnetomotive Force step by step
- Choose the starting unit and the target unit.
- Enter your value.
- Read the converted value, plus the conversion factor in both directions.

How to read your Magnetomotive Force result
Magnetomotive force drives magnetic flux through a circuit. The SI unit is the ampere-turn. One gilbert is exactly 10/(4π) ampere-turns, about 0.79577 At.
| UNIT | SYMBOL | EQUALS | VALUE OF 1 AT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ampere-turn | At | 1 At = 1 At | 1 At |
| Kiloampere-turn | kAt | 1 kAt = 1,000 At | 0.001 kAt |
| Milliampere-turn | mAt | 1 mAt = 0.001 At | 1,000 mAt |
| Gilbert | Gb | 1 Gb = 0.79577472 At | 1.256637 Gb |
| Ampere | A | 1 A = 1 At | 1 A |
Common mistakes when calculating Magnetomotive Force
- Mixing At and kAt, which differ by 1,000.
- Confusing gilbert with gauss; they measure different quantities.
- Forgetting the 4π in the gilbert definition.
Magnetomotive Force FAQ
How many ampere-turns is 1 gilbert?
About 0.79577 At.
How many ampere-turns is 1 kAt?
1 kAt is 1,000 At.
How do I find magnetomotive force of a coil?
Multiply the number of turns by the current in amperes.
What is the base unit for magnetomotive force?
This converter uses ampere-turn (At) as the common base unit: every value is first converted to it and then to the target unit.
How do I convert between two magnetomotive force units?
Choose the starting and target units, enter the value and read the result. By hand: convert to the base unit with the table, then divide by the target unit factor.

1 At = 1.256637 Gb.
How many kiloampere-turns are in 1 ampere-turn?
1 At = 0.001 kAt.
How many ampere-turns are in 1 gilbert?
1 Gb = 0.7957747 At.
Which magnetomotive force units does this converter support?
It covers 5 units: ampere-turn (At), kiloampere-turn (kAt), milliampere-turn (mAt), gilbert (Gb), ampere (A).
How accurate is the magnetomotive force converter?
Results are calculated at full double precision and shown to about 8 significant figures. Round the answer to the precision of your original measurement; a result cannot be more accurate than the number you started with.
