How to Convert Kilogauss to Megateslas
The kilogauss and megatesla are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 megatesla equals exactly 10000000 kilogauss. This means to convert kilogauss to megateslas, you divide by 10000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 kG to megateslas:
We need to convert kilogauss to megateslas
Since 1 MT = 10000000 kG, divide by 10000000
5 ÷ 10000000 = 5e-7
5 kG = 5e-7 MT

About These Units
Kilogauss (kG)
A kilogauss (kG) equals 1,000 gauss or 0.1 tesla. Laboratory electromagnets: 1-2.5 kG typical. Superconducting magnets: 10-20+ kG. MRI machines: 15-70 kG (1.5-7 T). Common in older physics literature and some industrial specifications.
Megatesla (MT)
A megatesla (MT) equals 10⁶ teslas. Found only in astrophysical objects: neutron star surfaces 10⁸-10¹¹ T, magnetars up to 10¹¹ T. The strongest magnetic fields in the universe. Impossible to create on Earth.
