Re: B versus H



In free space, perhaps. Both units have dimension
of force per unit charge. The Lorentz force is

1
f = q [ E + - vxB ]
c

in cgs, so E & B have the same dimensions.

And it was probably "1 Gs = 1 Oe". Right?

In the US we used gauss and oersted.
I don't even remember which was which.
