Convert Gauss to Milligauss
Input the number of gauss you want to convert to milligauss.
How to Convert Gauss to Milligauss
The gauss and milligauss are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 milligauss equals exactly 1000000 gauss. This means to convert gauss to milligauss, you divide by 1000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 G to milligauss:
We need to convert gauss to milligauss
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.
Milligauss (mG)
A milligauss (mG) equals 0.001 gauss or 0.1 microtesla. Used for environmental magnetic field measurements. Power lines: 1-100 mG at distance. Computer monitors: 1-25 mG. Background urban level: 0.5-4 mG. EMF meters often display milligauss.
