About these units
Gauss (G)
- Definition
- The gauss (G) is a CGS unit of magnetic flux density equal to 10⁻⁴ tesla.
- History
- Named after Carl Friedrich Gauss; it was the standard unit in the older CGS electromagnetic system.
- Current use
- Gauss is still widely used in industry for permanent magnets, MRI fringe fields, and legacy engineering documents.
Tesla (T)
- Definition
- The tesla (T) is the SI unit of magnetic flux density, equal to one weber per square meter or one volt·second per square meter.
- History
- Named after inventor Nikola Tesla, it was adopted by the CGPM in 1960.
- Current use
- MRI scanners operate at 1.5–3 T; research magnets reach tens of tesla. It is the standard unit in electromagnetism and medical imaging.
