Convert Gamma to Tesla
Input the number of gammas you want to convert to teslas.
How to Convert Gammas to Teslas
The gamma and tesla are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 tesla equals exactly 1000000000 gammas. This means to convert gammas to teslas, you divide by 1000000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 γ to teslas:
We need to convert gammas to teslas
Since 1 T = 1000000000 γ, divide by 1000000000
5 ÷ 1000000000 = 5e-9
5 γ = 5e-9 T

About These Units
Gamma (γ)
The gamma (γ) equals exactly 1 nanotesla (10⁻⁹ T). Traditional unit in geophysics and aeromagnetic surveys. Earth's field: 25,000-65,000 γ. Magnetic anomalies for mineral exploration measured in gammas. Largely replaced by nanotesla in modern usage.
Tesla (T)
The tesla (T) is the SI unit of magnetic flux density (magnetic field strength). Named after Nikola Tesla. MRI machines: 1.5-7 T, neodymium magnet surface: 1-1.4 T, Earth's field: ~50 μT. One tesla = one weber per square meter = 10,000 gauss.
