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:
“A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“Most of the rules and precepts of the world take this course of pushing us out of ourselves and driving us into the market place, for the benefit of public society.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Wherefore do you so ill translate yourself
Out of the speech of peace that bears such grace,
Into the harsh and boisterous tongue of war?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Beauty, like all other qualities presented to human experience, is relative; and the definition of it becomes unmeaning and useless in proportion to its abstractness. To define beauty not in the most abstract, but in the most concrete terms possible, not to find a universal formula for it, but the formula which expresses most adequately this or that special manifestation of it, is the aim of the true student of aesthetics.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
