Convert Gauss to Megagauss
Enter the number of gauss that you want to convert to megagauss.
How to Convert Gauss to Megagauss
The gauss and megagauss are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 megagauss equals exactly 1000000 gauss. This means to convert gauss to megagauss, you divide by 1000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 G to megagauss:
We need to convert gauss to megagauss
Since 1 MG = 1000000 G, divide by 1000000
5 ÷ 1000000 = 5e-6
5 G = 5e-6 MG

About These Units
Gauss (G)
The gauss (G) is the CGS unit of magnetic flux density. One tesla = 10,000 gauss. Earth's field: 0.25-0.65 G. Refrigerator magnet: 50-100 G. Neodymium magnet: 10,000-14,000 G at surface. Named after mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss.
Megagauss (MG)
A megagauss (MG) equals 10⁶ gauss or 100 teslas. Achieved through explosive flux compression, pulsed power systems, or Z-pinch devices. Sandia Z-machine produces ~20 MG briefly. Used in fusion research and weapons physics.
