What Does G Stand For?
G stands for Gauss
G, short for Gauss, refers to the unit of measurement used in the field of magnetism, specifically to quantify magnetic flux density. Named after the German mathematician and physicist Carl Friedrich Gauss, it is defined as one Maxwell per square centimeter. In practical terms, a magnetic field strength of 1 G corresponds to the strength of the Earth's magnetic field at the surface. Gauss is often used in scientific contexts to describe various phenomena in electromagnetism and is part of the broader Gaussian system of units.
