What did the Gilbert unit quantify?
Electrical resistance
Magnetic resistance
Magnetomotive force
Thermal conductivity
Answer
Magnetomotive force, quantified by the Gilbert unit, represents the driving force behind the creation of a magnetic field. It is analogous to electromotive force in electrical circuits, where it measures the ability of a source to generate a magnetic field. The Gilbert unit provides a standardized way to quantify the strength of this driving force, enabling engineers and physicists to design and analyze magnetic systems effectively.
