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:
“As a general truth, it is safe to say that any picture that produces a moral impression is a bad picture.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“The only rules comedy can tolerate are those of taste, and the only limitations those of libel.”
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
“Every Age has its own peculiar faith.... Any attempt to translate into facts the mission of one Age with the machinery of another, can only end in an indefinite series of abortive efforts. Defeated by the utter want of proportion between the means and the end, such attempts might produce martyrs, but never lead to victory.”
—Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
“Given for one instant an intelligence which could comprehend all the forces by which nature is animated and the respective positions of the beings which compose it, if moreover this intelligence were vast enough to submit these data to analysis, it would embrace in the same formula both the movements of the largest bodies in the universe and those of the lightest atom; to it nothing would be uncertain, and the future as the past would be present to its eyes.”
—Pierre Simon De Laplace (1749–1827)
