Magnetomotive Force Converter

Magnetomotive force drives flux around a magnetic circuit, the way voltage drives current around an electrical one. The SI unit is the ampere-turn — coil current multiplied by the number of turns. The CGS gilbert is about 0.796 ampere-turns.

About magnetomotive force conversion

Magnetomotive Force conversion is commonly needed when solenoid and relay design, transformers, and magnetic circuits. Ampere-turns are simply coil current multiplied by the number of turns — the magnetic analogue of voltage.
