Convert Microtesla to Megatesla

Input the number of microteslas you want to convert to megateslas.

1 μT (microteslas) = 1e-12 MT (megateslas)

How to Convert Microteslas to Megateslas

The microtesla and megatesla are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 megatesla equals exactly 1e12 microteslas. This means to convert microteslas to megateslas, you divide by 1e12.

Formula

megateslas = microteslas ÷ 1e12

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 μT to megateslas:

1
Convert 5 μT to megateslas

We need to convert microteslas to megateslas

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 MT = 1e12 μT, divide by 1e12

5 ÷ 1e12 = 5e-12

Answer

5 μT = 5e-12 MT

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.

Megatesla (MT)

A megatesla (MT) equals 10⁶ teslas. Found only in astrophysical objects: neutron star surfaces 10⁸-10¹¹ T, magnetars up to 10¹¹ T. The strongest magnetic fields in the universe. Impossible to create on Earth.
