Gilbert (unit)

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 A-turn

1 Gb = (10/4π) A-turn= 0.7957747 A-turn^[1]
1 A-turn ≡ 4π * 10⁻¹Gb ^[1]
