Convert Microtesla to Tesla
Input the number of microteslas you want to convert to teslas.
How to Convert Microteslas to Teslas
The microtesla and tesla are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 tesla equals exactly 1000000 microteslas. This means to convert microteslas to teslas, you divide by 1000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 μT to teslas:
We need to convert microteslas to teslas
Since 1 T = 1000000 μT, divide by 1000000
5 ÷ 1000000 = 5e-6
5 μT = 5e-6 T

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.
Tesla (T)
The tesla (T) is the SI unit of magnetic flux density (magnetic field strength). Named after Nikola Tesla. MRI machines: 1.5-7 T, neodymium magnet surface: 1-1.4 T, Earth's field: ~50 μT. One tesla = one weber per square meter = 10,000 gauss.
