—
Convert oersteds (Oe) to kiloamperes per meter (kA/m) instantly. Multiply oersted field intensity by 0.0795775 to express magnetizing force in metric kiloamperes per meter.
How to Convert Oersteds to Kiloamperes per Meter
Because 1 Oe = 79.5775 A/m and 1 kA/m = 1,000 A/m:
1 Oe = 79.5775 ÷ 1,000 kA/m = 0.0795775 kA/m
To convert from oersteds (Oe) to kiloamperes per meter (kA/m), multiply by 0.0795775 (or divide by 12.56637):
kA/m = Oe × 0.0795775 = Oe ÷ 12.56637
Calculation Examples
- Example 1: Convert 12.5664 Oe to kA/m:
12.5664 × 0.0795775 ≈ 1 kA/m - Example 2: Convert 100 Oe to kA/m:
100 × 0.0795775 = 7.95775 kA/m - Example 3: Convert 12,000 Oe (NdFeB intrinsic coercivity) to kA/m:
12,000 × 0.0795775 = 954.93 kA/m

Frequently Asked Questions
How many kA/m are in 1 Oersted?
One oersted is equal to exactly 0.0795774715 kA/m (1 / 4π kA/m), commonly rounded to 0.0795775 kA/m.
How do I convert kilo-oersteds (kOe) to kA/m?
Because 1 kOe = 1,000 Oe, multiply kOe by 79.5775 directly: kA/m = kOe × 79.5775. For example, 10 kOe = 795.775 kA/m.
