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.
Nanotesla (nT)
A nanotesla (nT) equals 10⁻⁹ teslas, identical to the gamma unit. Used in geophysics, space physics, and magnetometry. Earth's field: 25,000-65,000 nT. Geomagnetic storms cause variations of 100-1000 nT. Standard unit for geomagnetic surveys.
