Convert Tesla to Picotesla
Type the number of teslas that you wish to convert to picoteslas.
How to Convert Teslas to Picoteslas
The tesla and picotesla are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 tesla equals exactly 1e12 picoteslas. This means to convert teslas to picoteslas, you multiply by 1e12.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 T to picoteslas:
We need to convert teslas to picoteslas
Since 1 T = 1e12 pT, multiply by 1e12
5 × 1e12 = 5e12
5 T = 5e12 pT

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.
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.
