Convert Femtotesla to Milligauss
Input the number of femtoteslas you want to convert to milligauss.
How to Convert Femtoteslas to Milligauss
The femtotesla and milligauss are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 milligauss equals exactly 1e17 femtoteslas. This means to convert femtoteslas to milligauss, you divide by 1e17.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 fT to milligauss:
We need to convert femtoteslas to milligauss
Since 1 mG = 1e17 fT, divide by 1e17
5 ÷ 1e17 = 5e-17
5 fT = 5e-17 mG

About These Units
Femtotesla (fT)
A femtotesla (fT) equals 10⁻¹⁵ teslas. Measures biomagnetic fields: human brain activity 10-1000 fT, human heart (MCG) 1-100 pT. SQUID sensors can detect sub-femtotesla fields. At the frontier of magnetic field measurement.
Milligauss (mG)
A milligauss (mG) equals 0.001 gauss or 0.1 microtesla. Used for environmental magnetic field measurements. Power lines: 1-100 mG at distance. Computer monitors: 1-25 mG. Background urban level: 0.5-4 mG. EMF meters often display milligauss.
