The conversion of 1 tesla equals approximately 10,000 oersted.
To convert tesla to oersted, multiply the tesla value by 10,000 because 1 tesla is equal to 10,000 oersted. This is based on the relation where 1 tesla (T) equals 10,000 oersted (Oe) in vacuum, considering the magnetic permeability of free space.
1 Tesla to Oersted
When converting 1 tesla to oersted, you multiply by 10,000, resulting in 10,000 oersted. This means that a magnetic field of 1 tesla corresponds to a magnetic field of 10,000 oersted. The reason for this is the different units used to measure magnetic fields, with tesla being SI and oersted being CGS.

Conversion Definitions
Tesla
The tesla (T) is the SI unit of magnetic flux density, measuring the strength of a magnetic field in a specific area, with 1 tesla equaling one weber per square meter. It is used to quantify the intensity of magnetic fields in physics and engineering.
Oersted
The oersted (Oe) is a CGS unit of magnetic field strength, describing the intensity of a magnetic field around a current-carrying conductor or in a magnetic material, where 1 oersted roughly equals 0.1 millitesla in vacuum conditions.
Conversion FAQs
What does it mean when 1 tesla is converted to oersted?
It means translating the magnetic flux density measurement from SI units to CGS units, indicating the same magnetic field strength but expressed in a different measurement system based on historical and practical standards.
Why is the conversion factor 10,000 between tesla and oersted?
This factor is derived from the relationship where 1 tesla equals 10,000 oersted, rooted in the definitions of magnetic units in SI and CGS systems, considering the permeability of free space in vacuum conditions.
Can I use this conversion for magnetic fields in materials?
Yes, but the actual magnetic field strength may vary depending on material properties, since the units measure different aspects; tesla measures flux density, while oersted measures field strength, which can differ in magnetic materials.
Is this conversion accurate for all kinds of magnetic fields?
This conversion assumes vacuum or free space conditions. In materials with different permeabilities, the relationship between tesla and oersted might not hold exactly, so consider material-specific factors when applying the conversion.
