Converted Result: 1 Tesla is approximately 7993.4 oersted
Converting 1 tesla to oersted results in approximately 7993.4 oersted. This conversion arises from the relationship between magnetic flux density (Tesla) and magnetic field strength (Oersted), considering the magnetic permeability of free space.
What is the Conversion from Tesla to Oersted?
The conversion from tesla to oersted relies on the magnetic permeability of free space, which connects magnetic flux density (measured in Tesla) with magnetic field strength (measured in oersted). Since 1 Tesla equals 10,000 Gauss, and in vacuum, the relation involves the permeability constant, the formula adjusts for unit differences. The key formula used is H (Oersted) = B (Tesla) / (4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m), considering the units and constants involved, resulting in the factor 7991.84 approximately for practical purposes.

Conversion Formula
The conversion from Tesla to oersted uses the formula H (Oersted) = B (Tesla) × 10,000 / (4π × 10⁻⁷). Since 1 Tesla equals 10,000 Gauss, and 1 Gauss corresponds to 1 Oersted in vacuum for magnetic field strength, the simplified form becomes H = B × 7993.4. For example, multiplying 1 Tesla by 7993.4 gives the equivalent in oersted, illustrating how the units relate through the permeability constant. This formula accounts for the difference in measurement standards and ensures an accurate conversion.
Conversion Example
- Convert 2 Tesla to oersted:
- Step 1: Use the formula H = B × 7993.4
- Step 2: B = 2 Tesla
- Step 3: H = 2 × 7993.4 = 15986.8 oersted
- Convert 0.5 Tesla to oersted:
- Step 1: B = 0.5 Tesla
- Step 2: H = 0.5 × 7993.4 = 3996.7 oersted
- Convert 5 Tesla to oersted:
- Step 1: B = 5 Tesla
- Step 2: H = 5 × 7993.4 = 39967 oersted
- Convert 0.1 Tesla to oersted:
- Step 1: B = 0.1 Tesla
- Step 2: H = 0.1 × 7993.4 = 799.34 oersted

Conversion Definitions
Tesla
The tesla (T) measures magnetic flux density, representing the strength of a magnetic field in the International System. It is defined as one Weber per square meter, indicating how intense magnetic flux is within a specified area, used mainly in scientific and engineering contexts.
Oersted
The oersted (Oe) gauges magnetic field strength, historically used in the centimeter-gram-second system. It describes the magnetic field around a conductor or within a magnetic material, where 1 oersted equals 79.58 A/m in vacuum, but is often used in magnetic material measurements.
Conversion FAQs
How accurate is the conversion from Tesla to oersted?
The conversion is highly precise when using the formula based on the magnetic permeability of free space. Variations may occur due to measurement conditions or unit conversions, but generally, the factor 7993.4 provides reliable results for standard vacuum conditions.
Is the conversion affected by the type of material involved?
Yes, the conversion varies with the magnetic permeability of the material. The provided formula applies mainly to free space or vacuum; in ferromagnetic or other magnetic materials, the relationship may alter, requiring specific permeability considerations.
Why is the factor 7993.4 used in the conversion?
This factor arises from the relationship between Tesla and oersted through the permeability of free space (μ₀). It consolidates constants and unit conversions, simplifying the process of translating magnetic flux density into magnetic field strength in oersted.
