Magnetic Flux Density Explained: Teslas vs. Gauss
Magnetic flux density (represented by the vector symbol B in physics and electrical engineering) quantifies the strength and concentration of a magnetic field per unit area perpendicular to the direction of magnetic flux. It determines the magnitude of magnetic force exerted on moving electric charges, governed by the Lorentz force equation: F = q(v × B).
- Tesla (T): The coherent SI derived unit of magnetic flux density, named in honor of Serbian-American inventor and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla. One Tesla is defined as one Weber per square meter (
1 T = 1 Wb/m² = 1 N/(A·m) = 1 kg/(A·s²)). Because one Tesla is an extraordinarily powerful magnetic field, laboratory sensors and ambient geomagnetic calculations frequently express values in Milliteslas (1 mT = 0.001 T) or Microteslas (1 μT = 0.000001 T). - Gauss (G): The traditional CGS (centimeter-gram-second) electromagnetic unit of magnetic flux density, named after German mathematician and physicist Carl Friedrich Gauss. Exactly 10,000 Gauss equals one Tesla (
1 T = 10,000 G). The Gauss remains the standard legacy unit across industrial magnet specifications, magnetometer readouts, and geophysical field surveys.

Key Formulas & Conversion Rules
Keep these exact numerical relationships handy for engineering calculations:
- Teslas to Gauss: Multiply Teslas by 10,000 (
G = T × 10,000). - Gauss to Teslas: Divide Gauss by 10,000 (
T = G / 10,000 = G × 0.0001). - Milliteslas to Gauss: Multiply Milliteslas by 10 (
G = mT × 10). - Gauss to Milliteslas: Divide Gauss by 10 (
mT = G / 10 = G × 0.1). - Microteslas to Gauss: Divide Microteslas by 100 (
G = μT / 100 = μT × 0.01). - Gauss to Microteslas: Multiply Gauss by 100 (
μT = G × 100).
