Convert Gauss to Tesla
Input the number of gauss you want to convert to 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
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 G to teslas:
We need to convert gauss to teslas
Since 1 T = 10000 G, divide by 10000
5 ÷ 10000 = 0.0005
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.
