Nepers to Bels Converter | Np to B
  1. Enter the input Nepers value in the text field.
  2. The calculator converts the given Nepers into Bels in realtime ⌚ using the conversion formula, and displays under the Bels label. You do not need to click any button. If the input changes, Bels value is re-calculated, just like that.
  3. You may copy the resulting Bels value using the Copy button.
  4. To view a detailed step by step calculation of the conversion, click on the View Calculation button.
  5. You can also reset the input by clicking on Reset button present below the input field.

What is the Formula to convert Nepers to Bels?

The formula to convert given sound from Nepers to Bels is:

Sound(Bels) = Sound(Nepers) / (0.5 × Math.log(10))

Substitute the given value of sound in nepers, i.e., Sound(Nepers) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the sound in bels, i.e., Sound(Bels).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that the attenuation of a signal in a fiber optic cable is measured at 0.8 nepers.
Convert this attenuation from nepers to Bels.

Answer:

Given:

The sound in nepers is:

Sound(Nepers) = 0.8

Formula:

The formula to convert sound from nepers to bels is:

Sound(Bels) = Sound(Nepers) / (0.5 × Math.log(10))

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Sound(Nepers) = 0.8 in the above formula.

Sound(Bels) = 0.8 / (0.5 × Math.log(10))

Sound(Bels) = 0.6949

Final Answer:

Therefore, 0.8 Np is equal to 0.6949 B.

The sound is 0.6949 B, in bels.

2

Consider that the gain of an amplifier is recorded as 1.2 nepers.
Convert this gain from nepers to Bels.

Answer:

Given:

The sound in nepers is:

Sound(Nepers) = 1.2

Formula:

The formula to convert sound from nepers to bels is:

Sound(Bels) = Sound(Nepers) / (0.5 × Math.log(10))

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Sound(Nepers) = 1.2 in the above formula.

Sound(Bels) = 1.2 / (0.5 × Math.log(10))

Sound(Bels) = 1.0423

Final Answer:

Therefore, 1.2 Np is equal to 1.0423 B.

The sound is 1.0423 B, in bels.

Nepers

The neper (Np) is a logarithmic unit of measurement used to express ratios of measurements such as voltage, current, or power, especially in fields like telecommunications and electrical engineering. Unlike the decibel, which is based on a logarithm to the base 10, the neper is based on natural logarithms (base e). Nepers are particularly useful in contexts where continuous signals or natural exponential growths are involved. They provide a clear understanding of signal attenuation and amplification in various engineering applications.

Bels

The bel (B) is a unit of measurement named after Alexander Graham Bell, used primarily in telecommunications and acoustics to express ratios of power or intensity. One bel represents a tenfold increase in power level. Although the bel is not commonly used in its full form due to its large size, it is fundamental in understanding logarithmic scales and is the basis for the more frequently used decibel. Bels are important in fields where comparing vast differences in intensity or power is necessary, such as in sound levels and signal strength.
