dcterms:description The \(gauss\), abbreviated as \(G\), is the cgs unit of measurement of a magnetic field \(B\), which is also known as the "magnetic flux density" or the "magnetic induction". One gauss is defined as one maxwell per square centimeter; it equals \(10^{-4} tesla\) (or \(100 micro T\)). The Gauss is identical to maxwells per square centimetre; technically defined in a three-dimensional system, it corresponds in the SI, with its extra base unit the ampere. The gauss is quite small by earthly standards, 1 Gs being only about four times Earth's flux density, but it is subdivided, with \(1 gauss = 105 gamma\). This unit of magnetic induction is also known as the \(\textit{abtesla}\).
