The Tesla (T) is the SI unit of magnetic flux density, named after inventor Nikola Tesla. It represents the strength of a magnetic field and is defined as one weber per square meter. Tesla is commonly used in scientific and medical applications, particularly in MRI machines which typically operate at 1.5 to 3 Tesla. The Earth's magnetic field measures about 25-65 microteslas. One Tesla equals 10,000 Gauss, making it a much larger unit suitable for measuring strong magnetic fields in industrial and research settings.
Formula: Gauss = Tesla × 10,000
Steps:
Example: Convert 2.5 Tesla to Gauss
2.5 T × 10,000 = 25,000 G
1 Tesla equals exactly 10,000 Gauss.
Tesla is the larger unit. 1 Tesla = 10,000 Gauss.
Tesla measures magnetic flux density and is used in MRI machines, physics research, and industrial applications.
Earth's magnetic field ranges from about 25 to 65 microteslas (0.000025 to 0.000065 T).
Yes, Tesla is the SI (International System of Units) unit for magnetic flux density, while Gauss is a CGS unit.
Most clinical MRI machines operate at 1.5 to 3 Tesla, which equals 15,000 to 30,000 Gauss.
