How to Convert Gauss to Oersteds
The gauss and oersted are both units of magnetic field. 1 oersted equals 795775 gauss. This means to convert gauss to oersteds, you divide by 795775.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 G to oersteds:
We need to convert gauss to oersteds
Since 1 Oe = 795775 G, divide by 795775
5 ÷ 795775 = 6.2831830605e-6
5 G = 6.2831830605e-6 Oe

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.
Oersted (Oe)
The oersted (Oe) is the CGS unit of magnetic field intensity (H-field), not flux density (B-field). In vacuum/air, 1 Oe ≈ 79.58 A/m. Related to gauss through permeability: B(G) = μ × H(Oe). Named after Hans Christian Ørsted.
