Gauss
'What is a Gauss Meter?' one may ask. Well in order to define that one must look at the unit of Gauss. A Gauss is a common unit of measurement of magnetic field strength named after the seemingly self absorbed German mathematician and physicist Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss. The unit of guass is equal to one maxwell per square centimeter. According to the alternative centimetre gram second system of units (cgs), the gauss is the unit of magnetic field B, while the oersted is the unit of magnetizing field H. One tesla is equal to 104 gauss, and one ampere per meter is equal to 4π × 10−3 oersted
