1 T (teslas) = 0.0125663661 Oe (oersteds)

How to Convert Teslas to Oersteds

The tesla and oersted are both units of magnetic field. 1 oersted equals 79.5775 teslas. This means to convert teslas to oersteds, you divide by 79.5775.

Formula

oersteds = teslas ÷ 79.5775

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 T to oersteds:

1
Convert 5 T to oersteds

We need to convert teslas to oersteds

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 Oe = 79.5775 T, divide by 79.5775

5 ÷ 79.5775 = 0.0628318306

Answer

5 T = 0.0628318306 Oe

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.

Oersted (Oe)

The oersted (Oe) is the CGS unit of magnetic field intensity (H-field), not flux density (B-field). In vacuum/air, 1 Oe ≈ 79.58 A/m. Related to gauss through permeability: B(G) = μ × H(Oe). Named after Hans Christian Ørsted.
