About These Units
Millitesla (mT)
A millitesla (mT) equals 0.001 teslas or 10 gauss. Common range for permanent magnets: fridge magnet 5 mT, speaker magnet 100-400 mT, hard drive head 10-50 mT. Used in electronics, medical devices, and magnetic sensors.
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.
