Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 Oe to picoteslas:
We need to convert oersteds to picoteslas
Since 1 Oe = 7.95775e13 pT, multiply by 7.95775e13
5 × 7.95775e13 = 3.978875e14
5 Oe = 3.978875e14 pT

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.
Picotesla (pT)
A picotesla (pT) equals 10⁻¹² teslas. Used in magnetoencephalography (MEG) measuring brain magnetic fields (10-1000 fT), SQUID magnetometer research, and detecting extremely weak magnetic signals. Requires magnetically shielded rooms.
