Gauss
10000 G
Equivalents
| Tesla | 1 T |
| Gauss | 10000 G |
These are two different quantities, so the tool only converts within each pair:
- Flux density: 1 T = 10,000 G
- Magnetic flux: 1 Wb = 10⁸ Mx
- How they relate: 1 T = 1 Wb/m² (flux is density times the area it crosses)
Use cases
- Converting magnet or Hall sensor strength from gauss to mT.
- Reading an MRI scanner's field in tesla.
- Solving electromagnetism problems in CGS or SI.

Technical details
- The weber measures flux (T·m²) and the tesla flux density; they can't be converted without knowing the area, so picking weber limits the target list to weber and maxwell.
- Gauss and maxwell are CGS units; tesla and weber are SI units.
- Results use 10 significant figures; very large or very small values are shown in scientific notation (e.g. 1e-10).
Frequently asked questions
How many gauss are in a tesla?
10,000 gauss; 1 mT = 10 G.
Why can't I convert weber to tesla?
Because they measure different things: flux (Wb) is flux density (T) times an area.
