How to Convert Gauss to Teslas
To convert gauss to teslas, multiply the magnetic flux density by the following conversion ratio: 0.0001 teslas/gauss.
Since one gauss is equal to 0.0001 teslas, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The magnetic flux density in teslas is equal to the magnetic flux density in gauss multiplied by 0.0001.
For example, here's how to convert 5000 gauss to teslas using the formula above.
How Many Teslas Are in a Gauss?
There are 0.0001 teslas in a gauss, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
Our gauss to tesla calculator automatically converts your magnetic flux density measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.
Gauss and teslas are both units used to measure magnetic flux density. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
What Is a Gauss?
A gauss is a unit of magnetic flux density equal to 1/10,000 of a tesla (0.0001 T). CGS magnetic induction unit equal to 0.0001 Tesla (1 T = 10,000 G). [1]
The gauss is classified as a standard unit of magnetic flux density. Gauss can be abbreviated as G; for example, 1 gauss can be written as 1 G.
When working with gauss (G) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.
In practice, gauss (G) are widely used across fine-tolerance laboratory, analytical, and micro-scale magnetic flux density measurements within international standard workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
What Is a Tesla?
SI unit of magnetic flux density (1 Wb/m² = 10,000 Gauss). It serves as a primary reference unit for measuring magnetic flux density across scientific and practical applications. [2]
The tesla is classified as an International System of Units (SI) unit of magnetic flux density. Teslas can be abbreviated as T; for example, 1 tesla can be written as 1 T.
As the primary coherent reference unit for magnetic flux density in this category, all other magnetic flux density units are mathematically anchored to the tesla (T).
In practice, teslas (T) are widely used across standard magnetic flux density applications within International System of Units (SI) workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
When converting magnetic flux density between gauss (G) and teslas (T), keep full floating-point precision (1 G = 0.0001 T; 1 T = 10,000 G) during intermediate calculations and round only the final tesla figure to match your instrument tolerance.
