How to Convert Picoteslas to Megagauss
The picotesla and megagauss are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 megagauss equals exactly 1e14 picoteslas. This means to convert picoteslas to megagauss, you divide by 1e14.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 pT to megagauss:
We need to convert picoteslas to megagauss
Since 1 MG = 1e14 pT, divide by 1e14
5 ÷ 1e14 = 5e-14
5 pT = 5e-14 MG

About These Units
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.
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.
