Convert Microtesla to Picotesla
Type the number of microteslas that you wish to convert to picoteslas.
How to Convert Microteslas to Picoteslas
The microtesla and picotesla are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 microtesla equals exactly 1000000 picoteslas. This means to convert microteslas to picoteslas, you multiply by 1000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 μT to picoteslas:
We need to convert microteslas to picoteslas
Since 1 μT = 1000000 pT, multiply by 1000000
5 × 1000000 = 5000000
5 μT = 5000000 pT

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.
Picotesla (pT)
A picotesla (pT) equals 10⁻¹² teslas. Used in magnetoencephalography (MEG) measuring brain magnetic fields (10-1000 fT), SQUID magnetometer research, and detecting extremely weak magnetic signals. Requires magnetically shielded rooms.
