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.
Oersted (Oe)
The oersted (Oe) is the CGS unit of magnetic field intensity (H-field), not flux density (B-field). In vacuum/air, 1 Oe ≈ 79.58 A/m. Related to gauss through permeability: B(G) = μ × H(Oe). Named after Hans Christian Ørsted.
