Convert Microtesla to Gauss
Enter the number of microteslas that you want to convert to gauss.
How to Convert Microteslas to Gauss
The microtesla and gauss are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 gauss equals exactly 100 microteslas. This means to convert microteslas to gauss, you divide by 100.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 μT to gauss:
We need to convert microteslas to gauss
Since 1 G = 100 μT, divide by 100
5 ÷ 100 = 0.05
5 μT = 0.05 G

About These Units
Microtesla (μT)
A microtesla (μT) equals 10⁻⁶ teslas or 0.01 gauss (10 milligauss). Earth's magnetic field: 25-65 μT depending on location. Power line magnetic fields: 0.1-10 μT. Smartphone compass detects fields in microteslas.
Gauss (G)
The gauss (G) is the CGS unit of magnetic flux density. One tesla = 10,000 gauss. Earth's field: 0.25-0.65 G. Refrigerator magnet: 50-100 G. Neodymium magnet: 10,000-14,000 G at surface. Named after mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss.
