Oersted

Oersted \Oer"sted\, n. [After Hans Christian Oersted, Danish physicist.] (Elec.) The C. G. S. unit of magnetic reluctance or resistance, equal to the reluctance of a centimeter cube of air (or vacuum) between parallel faces. Also, a reluctance in which unit magnetomotive force sets up unit flux.

Oersted

Oersted (abbreviated as Oe) is the unit of the auxiliary magnetic field H in the CGS system of units. It is identical to Dyne/ Maxwell.

Oersted (crater)

Oersted is a lunar crater that has been flooded by lava, leaving only a crescent-shaped rim with a gap to the southwest. The rim climbs to a maximum height of 1.7 km. This feature lies to the southeast of the crater Atlas, and southwest of Chevallier. To the south-southwest is Cepheus.

The northern rim of Oersted is overlain by a broken, lava-flooded craterlet. Just to the south is a younger, still-intact crater named Oersted A that was formed after Oersted was flooded. To the northwest, the flooded crater Oersted P is attached to the northwest arm of the outer rim.

Ørsted (satellite)

Ørsted is Denmark's first satellite, named after Hans Christian Ørsted (1777–1851) a Danish physicist and professor at the University of Copenhagen. It is in an almost sun synchronous low Earth orbit.

After more than seventeen years in orbit, the Ørsted satellite is still operational, and continues to downlink accurate measurements of the Earth's magnetic field. Ørsted was constructed by a team of Danish space companies, of which CRI was prime contractor. CRI was acquired by Terma A/S before Ørsted was launched, and the daily operations are being run as a teamwork between Terma A/S and the Danish Meteorological Institute.

In 2010, Ørsted passed within 500 meters of debris from the 2009 satellite collision but suffered no damage.

Ørsted was the first in a planned sequence of microsatellites to be flown under the now discontinued Danish Small Satellite Programme.

Usage examples of "oersted".

Queen Victoria had ever called an urgent meeting of her counsellors, and ordered them to invent the equivalent of radio and television, it is unlikely that any of them would have imagined the path to lead through the experiments of Ampere, Biot, Oersted and Faraday, four equations of vector calculus, and the judgement to preserve the displacement current in a vacuum.

Thus what had escaped Oersted throughout his planned researches - namely, that the magnetic force which accompanies an electric current must be sought in a direction at right angles to the current - a fortuitous event enabled him to detect.

About to leave the lecture room where he had just been trying to prove the non-existence of such magnetic properties (an attempt seemingly crowned with success), Oersted happened to glance once more at his demonstration bench.

In 1820, just three years before Michael Faraday liquefied chlorine, the Danish scientist Hans Christian Oersted and then the Frenchman André Marie Ampère found that there was a relation between electricity and magnetism—a flowing current would make a magnet move.
