Description
A tool for converting between magnetic field units: microtesla (μT), millitesla (mT), tesla (T), kilotesla (kT), gauss (G), kilogauss (kG), megagauss (MG).
This converter supports:
- Input any value to automatically calculate others
- Scientific notation support (e.g., 1.5e-5)
- Real-time bidirectional calculation
- Useful in electromagnetism, medical imaging, motor design, research
Key Formulas
1 Tesla (T) = 10⁴ Gauss (G)
1 Gauss (G) = 10⁻⁴ Tesla (T)
1 mT = 10 G
1 μT = 0.01 G
1 kG = 0.1 T
1 MG = 100 T
Example Calculations
Example 1:
Earth's magnetic field is ~0.5 G → 0.5 × 10⁻⁴ T = 5 × 10⁻⁵ T = 50 μT
Example 2:
MRI magnet field is 1.5 T → 1.5 × 10⁴ G = 15,000 G = 15 kG
Example 3:
Neodymium magnet surface field is 12,000 G → 12,000 × 10⁻⁴ T = 1.2 T
Example 4:
Lab pulsed field reaches 1 MG → 1 MG = 10⁶ G = 100 T
Example 5:
Sensor reading is 800 μT → 800 × 10⁻⁶ T = 8 × 10⁻⁴ T = 8 G
