Convert Picotesla to Megatesla
Type the number of picoteslas that you wish to convert to megateslas.
How to Convert Picoteslas to Megateslas
The picotesla and megatesla are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 megatesla equals exactly 1e18 picoteslas. This means to convert picoteslas to megateslas, you divide by 1e18.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 pT to megateslas:
We need to convert picoteslas to megateslas
Since 1 MT = 1e18 pT, divide by 1e18
5 ÷ 1e18 = 5e-18
5 pT = 5e-18 MT

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.
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.
