The gilbert (Symbol: Gb) is an obsolete unit used in practical cgs and emu cgs systems to measure magnetization.[1] The unit is named for English physicist William Gilbert.
Definition in magnetization:
- 1 Gb = (1/4π)×Bi-turn
Conversion to Ampere-turns:
- 1 Gb = (10/4π) A-turn= 0.7957747 A-turn[1]
- 1 A-turn ≡ 4π * 10−1 Gb [1]
