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:
“What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“You’d leave your own mother here, if the rules called for it.”
—Michael Wilson (1914–1978)
“I do wish that as long as they are translating the thing, they would go right on ahead, while they’re at it, and translate Fedor Vasilyevich Protosov and Georgei Dmitrievich Abreskov and Ivan Petrovich Alexandrov into Joe and Harry and Fred.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
“My formula for greatness in human beings is amor fati: that one wants to change nothing, neither forwards, nor backwards, nor in all eternity. Not merely to endure necessity, still less to hide it—all idealism is mendacity in the face of necessity—but rather to love it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
