General Rules To Translate A Formula
To convert any formula from Gaussian units to SI units, replace the quantity in the Gaussian column by the quantity in the SI column (vice-versa to convert the other way). This will reproduce any of the specific formulas given in the list above, such as Maxwell's equations, as well as any other formula not listed. It may also be necessary to use the relation to simplify. For some examples of how to use this table, see:
| Name | Gaussian units | SI units |
|---|---|---|
| Electric field, Electric potential | ||
| Electric displacement field | ||
| Charge, Charge density, Current, Current density, Polarization density, Electric dipole moment |
||
| Magnetic B field, Magnetic flux, Magnetic vector potential |
||
| Magnetic H field | ||
| Magnetic moment, Magnetization | ||
| Relative permittivity, Relative permeability |
||
| Electric susceptibility, Magnetic susceptibility |
||
| Conductivity, Conductance, Capacitance | ||
| Resistivity, Resistance, Inductance |

Famous quotes containing the words general, rules, translate and/or formula:
“The world can doubtless never be well known by theory: practice is absolutely necessary; but surely it is of great use to a young man, before he sets out for that country, full of mazes, windings, and turnings, to have at least a general map of it, made by some experienced traveller.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“The young break rules for fun. The old for profit.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“It comes in, falling to its knees
but we can’t translate the language.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“But suppose, asks the student of the professor, we follow all your structural rules for writing, what about that “something else” that brings the book alive? What is the formula for that? The formula for that is not included in the curriculum.”
—Fannie Hurst (1889–1968)
