Convert Picotesla to Microtesla
Input the number of picoteslas you want to convert to microteslas.
How to Convert Picoteslas to Microteslas
The picotesla and microtesla are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 microtesla equals exactly 1000000 picoteslas. This means to convert picoteslas to microteslas, you divide by 1000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 pT to microteslas:
We need to convert picoteslas to microteslas
Since 1 μT = 1000000 pT, divide by 1000000
5 ÷ 1000000 = 5e-6
5 pT = 5e-6 μT

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.
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.
