MaxwellThe compound derived CGS unit, the maxwell, abbreviated as Mx, is the unit for the magnetic flux. The unit was previously called a line. The unit name honors James Clerk Maxwell, who presented the unified theory of electromagnetism. - 1 maxwell = 1 gauss * cm2 = 10–8 weber
In a magnetic field of strength one gauss, one maxwell is the total flux across a surface of one square centimetre perpendicular to the field.
Maxwell can also refer to: * Maxwell, Texas, a place in the United States of America
