Type the number of teslas that you wish to convert to megagauss.
How to Convert Teslas to Megagauss
The tesla and megagauss are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 megagauss equals exactly 100 teslas. This means to convert teslas to megagauss, you divide by 100.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 T to megagauss:
We need to convert teslas to megagauss
Since 1 MG = 100 T, divide by 100
5 ÷ 100 = 0.05
5 T = 0.05 MG

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.
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.
