- Maxwell [Mx]
- CGS unit for magnetic flux. It is named after the British physicist James Clerk Maxwell. The maxwell has the relationship with the CGS unit for magnetic flux density, the gauss [G], of 1 [Mx] = 1 [G·cm2] and with the SI unit for magnetic flux, the weber [Wb], of 1 [Mx] = 10-8 [Wb].
