Convert Femtotesla to Nanotesla

Convert femtoteslas to nanoteslas by entering a value below.

1 fT (femtoteslas) = 1e-6 nT (nanoteslas)

How to Convert Femtoteslas to Nanoteslas

The femtotesla and nanotesla are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 nanotesla equals exactly 1000000 femtoteslas. This means to convert femtoteslas to nanoteslas, you divide by 1000000.

Formula

nanoteslas = femtoteslas ÷ 1000000

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 fT to nanoteslas:

1
Convert 5 fT to nanoteslas

We need to convert femtoteslas to nanoteslas

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 nT = 1000000 fT, divide by 1000000

5 ÷ 1000000 = 5e-6

Answer

5 fT = 5e-6 nT

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.

Nanotesla (nT)

A nanotesla (nT) equals 10⁻⁹ teslas, identical to the gamma unit. Used in geophysics, space physics, and magnetometry. Earth's field: 25,000-65,000 nT. Geomagnetic storms cause variations of 100-1000 nT. Standard unit for geomagnetic surveys.
