Convert Mx to V·s
Enter the number of maxwells that you want to convert to volt-seconds.
How to Convert Maxwells to Volt-seconds
The maxwell and volt-second are both units of magnetic flux. By definition, 1 volt-second equals exactly 100000000 maxwells. This means to convert maxwells to volt-seconds, you divide by 100000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 Mx to volt-seconds:
We need to convert maxwells to volt-seconds
Since 1 V·s = 100000000 Mx, divide by 100000000
5 ÷ 100000000 = 5e-8
5 Mx = 5e-8 V·s

About These Units
Maxwell (Mx)
The maxwell (Mx) is the CGS unit of magnetic flux. One weber equals 10⁸ maxwells (100 million). Named after James Clerk Maxwell. One maxwell = one gauss × one square centimeter. Found in older physics literature and some magnetic specifications.
Volt-second (V·s)
A volt-second (V·s) is exactly equal to one weber by definition. Shows the fundamental relationship from Faraday's law: EMF = -dΦ/dt, so flux has units of voltage × time. Useful for understanding flux in terms of induced voltage over time.
