About These Units
Gilbert (Gb)
The gilbert (Gb) is the CGS unit of magnetomotive force (MMF), equal to 10/4π ≈ 0.796 ampere-turns. While technically a unit of MMF rather than current, it's dimensionally related. Named after William Gilbert. One ampere-turn equals 1.257 gilberts.
Biot (Bi)
The biot (Bi) is identical to the abampere, equal to 10 amperes. Named after French physicist Jean-Baptiste Biot who studied electromagnetism. Used in the CGS electromagnetic system. One ampere equals 0.1 biots. Rarely used today.
