Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 MG to nanoteslas:
We need to convert megagauss to nanoteslas
Since 1 MG = 100000000000 nT, multiply by 100000000000
5 × 100000000000 = 500000000000
5 MG = 500000000000 nT

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.
Nanotesla (nT)
A nanotesla (nT) equals 10⁻⁹ teslas, identical to the gamma unit. Used in geophysics, space physics, and magnetometry. Earth's field: 25,000-65,000 nT. Geomagnetic storms cause variations of 100-1000 nT. Standard unit for geomagnetic surveys.
