Convert Gauss to Microtesla
Type the number of gauss that you wish to convert to microteslas.
How to Convert Gauss to Microteslas
The gauss and microtesla are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 gauss equals exactly 100 microteslas. This means to convert gauss to microteslas, you multiply by 100.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 G to microteslas:
We need to convert gauss to microteslas
Since 1 G = 100 μT, multiply by 100
5 × 100 = 500
5 G = 500 μT

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.
Microtesla (μT)
A microtesla (μT) equals 10⁻⁶ teslas or 0.01 gauss (10 milligauss). Earth's magnetic field: 25-65 μT depending on location. Power line magnetic fields: 0.1-10 μT. Smartphone compass detects fields in microteslas.
