About These Units
Tesla (T)
The tesla (T) is the SI unit of magnetic flux density (magnetic field strength). Named after Nikola Tesla. MRI machines: 1.5-7 T, neodymium magnet surface: 1-1.4 T, Earth's field: ~50 μT. One tesla = one weber per square meter = 10,000 gauss.
Kilogauss (kG)
A kilogauss (kG) equals 1,000 gauss or 0.1 tesla. Laboratory electromagnets: 1-2.5 kG typical. Superconducting magnets: 10-20+ kG. MRI machines: 15-70 kG (1.5-7 T). Common in older physics literature and some industrial specifications.
