Convert Tesla to Picotesla

Type the number of teslas that you wish to convert to picoteslas.

1 T (teslas) = 1e12 pT (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

picoteslas = teslas × 1e12

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 T to picoteslas:

1
Convert 5 T to picoteslas

We need to convert teslas to picoteslas

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 T = 1e12 pT, multiply by 1e12

5 × 1e12 = 5e12

Answer

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.
