About These Units
Megagauss (MG)
A megagauss (MG) equals 10⁶ gauss or 100 teslas. Achieved through explosive flux compression, pulsed power systems, or Z-pinch devices. Sandia Z-machine produces ~20 MG briefly. Used in fusion research and weapons physics.
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.
