Gilbert per Centimeter
Gi/cm
Definition
The Gilbert per Centimeter (Gi/cm) is a CGS electromagnetic unit of linear current density equal to approximately 79.58 amperes per meter. It is equivalent to the oersted and represents the magnetic field strength produced by current distribution.
History/Origin
Named after William Gilbert, an English physician and natural philosopher who made early contributions to the study of magnetism, the gilbert per centimeter was a key unit in the CGS electromagnetic system. It provided a practical measure for magnetic field strength in terms of current density.
Current Use
The gilbert per centimeter is largely historical and rarely used in modern applications. Its primary relevance is in historical physics literature and academic discussions that explore the development of electromagnetic theory and the various systems of units used throughout history.

Abampere per Meter
abA/m
Definition
The Abampere per Meter (abA/m) is the CGS electromagnetic unit of linear current density, equal to 10 amperes per meter. It is part of the CGS electromagnetic system and is primarily encountered in historical physics texts or specialized theoretical contexts.
History/Origin
The abampere per meter originated from the CGS electromagnetic system, where electrical units were defined based on magnetic phenomena. It was widely used in scientific research before the adoption of the SI system and remains relevant in certain theoretical physics contexts.
Current Use
The abampere per meter is largely obsolete in modern practical applications, which predominantly use SI units. Its primary relevance is in academic discussions of classical electromagnetism, historical scientific literature, and in contexts where CGS units are still used for theoretical consistency.
