Convert femtoteslas to nanoteslas by entering a value below.
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
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 fT to nanoteslas:
We need to convert femtoteslas to nanoteslas
Since 1 nT = 1000000 fT, divide by 1000000
5 ÷ 1000000 = 5e-6
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.
