Magnetization
This is the magnetic moment per unit volume. The units are the weber per meter squared [Wb/m2] or the tesla [T = Wb/m2] for SI units and the electromagnetic unit per square centimeter [emu/cm2] and the magnetization is expressed with the symbol I. 1 [Wb/m2] = 104/4π [emu/cm2]. In the CGS units, the units of gauss [G] multiplied by 4π are often used and in this case, the magnetization is expressed with the symbols 4πI, giving 1 [T] = 104 [G].
