Convert Gauss to Picotesla
Enter the number of gauss that you want to convert to picoteslas.
How to Convert Gauss to Picoteslas
The gauss and picotesla are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 gauss equals exactly 100000000 picoteslas. This means to convert gauss to picoteslas, you multiply by 100000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 G to picoteslas:
We need to convert gauss to picoteslas
Since 1 G = 100000000 pT, multiply by 100000000
5 × 100000000 = 500000000
5 G = 500000000 pT

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.
Picotesla (pT)
A picotesla (pT) equals 10⁻¹² teslas. Used in magnetoencephalography (MEG) measuring brain magnetic fields (10-1000 fT), SQUID magnetometer research, and detecting extremely weak magnetic signals. Requires magnetically shielded rooms.
