Formula to Convert Maxwell to Weber
The Maxwell is a very small unit of magnetic flux compared to the Weber. To convert from Maxwell to Weber, you divide by 100 million ($10^8$).
The formula is:
$$1 \text{ Mx} = 10^{-8} \text{ Wb}$$
$$\Phi_{(Wb)} = \Phi_{(Mx)} \times 0.00000001$$
Example
Convert 500,000,000 Maxwells to Weber:
$$500,000,000 \text{ Mx} \times 10^{-8} = 5 \text{ Wb}$$
Conversion Table
| Maxwell (Mx) | Weber (Wb) |
|---|---|
| 1 Mx | 10-8 Wb |
| 100 Mx | 10-6 Wb |
| 1,000,000 Mx | 0.01 Wb |
| 100,000,000 Mx | 1 Wb |
About the Units
The **Maxwell (Mx)** is the CGS unit of magnetic flux, representing a single line of magnetic flux. The **Weber (Wb)** is the much larger SI unit. Because modern engineering uses the SI system (Weber/Tesla), the Maxwell is mostly found in older textbooks or specific scientific papers.
