Convert Gauss to Tesla

Input the number of gauss you want to convert to teslas.

1 G (gauss) = 0.0001 T (teslas)

How to Convert Gauss to Teslas

The gauss and tesla are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 tesla equals exactly 10000 gauss. This means to convert gauss to teslas, you divide by 10000.

Formula

teslas = gauss ÷ 10000

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 G to teslas:

1
Convert 5 G to teslas

We need to convert gauss to teslas

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 T = 10000 G, divide by 10000

5 ÷ 10000 = 0.0005

Answer

5 G = 0.0005 T

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.

Tesla (T)

The tesla (T) is the SI unit of magnetic flux density (magnetic field strength). Named after Nikola Tesla. MRI machines: 1.5-7 T, neodymium magnet surface: 1-1.4 T, Earth's field: ~50 μT. One tesla = one weber per square meter = 10,000 gauss.
