Convert Femtotesla to Milligauss

Input the number of femtoteslas you want to convert to milligauss.

1 fT (femtoteslas) = 1e-17 mG (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

milligauss = femtoteslas ÷ 1e17

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 fT to milligauss:

1
Convert 5 fT to milligauss

We need to convert femtoteslas to milligauss

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 mG = 1e17 fT, divide by 1e17

5 ÷ 1e17 = 5e-17

Answer

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.
