Magnetism Unit Conversions
Convert magnetic units in one place: magnetic flux density (tesla, gauss), magnetic field strength (A/m, oersted), magnetic flux (weber, maxwell) and more. Includes formulas, reference table, and CGS ⇄ SI notes.
Magnetic conversion
Converted 1000 G → 0.1 T
| Quantity | SI unit | CGS unit | Relation |
|---|---|---|---|
| B – flux density | 1 T | 10,000 G | 1 T = 10⁴ G |
| H – field strength | 1 A/m | 1 Oe | 1 Oe ≈ 79.577 A/m |
| Φ – flux | 1 Wb | 10⁸ Mx | 1 Wb = 10⁸ maxwell |
Quick reference keeps each quantity in its own family so B and H are never mixed.
How to Use This Converter
Pick the magnetic quantity you need (B for flux density, H for field strength, Φ for magnetic flux), then choose the source and target units that belong to that group. Enter the numeric value you want to convert and click Convert. The result updates immediately in the right-hand card with six significant digits so you can compare values without rounding surprises.
The conversion relies on one consistent base unit per quantity (tesla for B, ampere per metre for H, and weber for Φ) and simply rescales the input and output units through that base value.
Methodology
Values are parsed as decimal numbers and normalized to the base unit, which ensures operations never mix incompatible units. We then divide by the target unit factor and return six-digit precision to match the previous converter experience.
- The calculator keeps each quantity separate to prevent mixing B ↔ H conversions when the material permeability is not specified.
- Flux density conversions like gauss ↔ tesla are exact scalar multiples, so the output only reflects the input precision.
- Field strength uses the constant 1 Oe ≈ 79.5774715 A/m from vacuum definitions.

Notes
- For air/vacuum, oersted ↔ A/m factor ≈ 79.577.
- 1 tesla is a very strong field: most permanent magnets surface ≈ 0.1–0.6 T.
- To convert B ↔ H through a material, specify its permeability and use B = μH.
