How to Convert Oersteds to Megateslas
The oersted and megatesla are both units of magnetic field. 1 megatesla equals 12566.366121 oersteds. This means to convert oersteds to megateslas, you divide by 12566.366121.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 Oe to megateslas:
We need to convert oersteds to megateslas
Since 1 MT = 12566.366121 Oe, divide by 12566.366121
5 ÷ 12566.366121 = 0.0003978875
5 Oe = 0.0003978875 MT

About These Units
Oersted (Oe)
The oersted (Oe) is the CGS unit of magnetic field intensity (H-field), not flux density (B-field). In vacuum/air, 1 Oe ≈ 79.58 A/m. Related to gauss through permeability: B(G) = μ × H(Oe). Named after Hans Christian Ørsted.
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.
