1 Tesla equals 10,000 Gauss
The conversion of 1 tesla to gauss results in 10,000 gauss. This means that a magnetic field of 1 tesla is equivalent to 10,000 gauss.
Because the tesla and gauss are units measuring magnetic flux density, the conversion is straightforward: 1 tesla equals 10,000 gauss, based on the fact that 1 gauss is 10^-4 tesla. Therefore, multiplying the value in tesla by 10,000 gives the value in gauss.

Conversion Formula
The conversion formula from tesla to gauss is simple: gauss = tesla * 10,000. This works because 1 tesla equals 10,000 gauss, based on the relationship between the units. To convert, you multiply the number of tesla by 10,000, which shifts the decimal point to the right four places.
For example, converting 0.5 tesla involves: 0.5 × 10,000 = 5,000 gauss. The formula ensures an accurate and quick calculation, connecting the SI unit (tesla) to the cgs unit (gauss).
Conversion Example
- Convert 2 tesla:
- 2 × 10,000 = 20,000 gauss
- Convert 0.75 tesla:
- 0.75 × 10,000 = 7,500 gauss
- Convert 1.2 tesla:
- 1.2 × 10,000 = 12,000 gauss
- Convert 5 tesla:
- 5 × 10,000 = 50,000 gauss
- Convert 0.1 tesla:
- 0.1 × 10,000 = 1,000 gauss

Conversion Definitions
Tesla
The tesla (T) is the SI unit measuring magnetic flux density or magnetic field strength. It indicates the strength of a magnetic field, where 1 tesla equals one weber per square meter, used in scientific and engineering contexts.
Gauss
The gauss (G) is a cgs (centimeter-gram-second) unit measuring magnetic flux density. It is defined as one maxwell per square centimeter, where 10,000 gauss equals 1 tesla, primarily used in physics for magnetic field measurements.
Conversion FAQs
What is the relation between tesla and gauss?
The relation is straightforward: 1 tesla equals 10,000 gauss. This means that to convert tesla to gauss, you multiply the tesla value by 10,000, providing a quick way to switch between SI and cgs units.
Can I convert gauss back to tesla with the same formula?
Yes, but in reverse. To convert gauss to tesla, divide the gauss value by 10,000. For example, 50,000 gauss divided by 10,000 equals 5 tesla.
Why do some measurements use gauss instead of tesla?
Gauss remains popular in certain fields like magnetics and physics because of historical use and the convenience of smaller units. It is convenient for measuring weaker magnetic fields often encountered in laboratory or geophysical settings.
Is the conversion affected by temperature or other factors?
No, the conversion between tesla and gauss is a pure mathematical relationship based on their definitions. External factors like temperature do not alter the conversion factor but can influence the magnetic field’s actual strength.
