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.
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.
