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.
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.
