About these units
Microtesla (µT)
- Definition
- A microtesla (µT) is one millionth of a tesla.
- History
- A metric sub-multiple used in geomagnetic and environmental studies.
- Current use
- Earth's magnetic field strength is approximately 25–65 µT at the surface.
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.
