About these units
Nanotesla (nT)
- Definition
- A nanotesla (nT) is one billionth of a tesla, also equal to one gamma.
- History
- Widely used in geophysics before the SI unit was established.
- Current use
- Magnetometers in archaeology, mineral exploration, and satellite missions report in nanotesla.
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.
