bel to neper
Please provide values below to convert bel [B] to neper [Np], or change ↔.
bel [B]
Definition: The bel (B) is a unit used to express ratios of power, sound intensity, or voltage in a logarithmic scale, primarily used in acoustics and telecommunications.
Historyandorigin: The bel was named in honor of Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone. It was first introduced by the Western Electric Company in the 1920s for telecommunications purposes.
CurrentUse: Although the bel is seldom used today, its subunit, the decibel (dB), is extensively used in telecommunications, audio, acoustics, and electronics to measure power ratios and sound intensities.
funfact: Named after Alexander Graham Bell, the bel is rarely used in isolation, with the decibel (dB) being a more commonly used subunit.
neper [Np]
Definition: The neper (Np) is a unit of ratio used to express gains and losses of power or amplitude in a logarithmic scale, similar to decibels, but with a different base.
Historyandorigin: The neper was named after John Napier, the Scottish mathematician who introduced logarithms in the 17th century. It was introduced as a unit of ratio in the 1920s by engineers working with telecommunications and electrical systems.
CurrentUse: The neper is used mainly in the field of telecommunications and electrical engineering, where it helps express gains and losses in systems involving signal amplitude and power ratios.
funfact: The neper is primarily used in electrical engineering, and one neper equals approximately 8.686 decibels. It's more common in Europe than in the United States.

How to Convert bel to neper
1 bel [B] = 1.151277918 neper [Np]
1 neper [Np] = 0.8686000004 bel [B]
we use cross multiplication method
bel [B] → neper [Np]
1 → 1.151277918
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1.151277918=1*x
by simplifying
x=1.726916877
