How to Convert Megagauss to Kiloteslas
The megagauss and kilotesla are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 kilotesla equals exactly 10 megagauss. This means to convert megagauss to kiloteslas, you divide by 10.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 MG to kiloteslas:
We need to convert megagauss to kiloteslas
Since 1 kT = 10 MG, divide by 10
5 ÷ 10 = 0.5
5 MG = 0.5 kT

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.
Kilotesla (kT)
A kilotesla (kT) equals 1,000 teslas. Achieved only in extreme conditions: pulsed magnets in laboratories reach 100+ T briefly, neutron star surfaces 100 MT to 100 GT. Strongest sustained lab field: ~45 T (National High Magnetic Field Lab).
