Since 1 gauss equals 0.0001 tesla, multiplying 50 gauss by this factor gives the equivalent in tesla, which is 0.0050 T. This conversion helps translate magnetic field strengths from the gauss system, used in smaller magnets or laboratory settings, to tesla, the SI unit used internationally.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert gauss to tesla is straightforward: 1 gauss equals 0.0001 tesla. This is because the tesla is defined as 10,000 gauss. Multiplying the gauss value with 0.0001 gives the equivalent magnetic flux density in tesla, which is the SI standard. For example, converting 100 gauss: 100 * 0.0001 = 0.01 T.
Conversion Example
- Convert 20 gauss to tesla:
- Multiply 20 by 0.0001
- 20 * 0.0001 = 0.002 T
- Convert 75 gauss to tesla:
- 75 * 0.0001 = 0.0075 T
- Convert 10 gauss to tesla:
- 10 * 0.0001 = 0.001 T
- Convert 150 gauss to tesla:
- 150 * 0.0001 = 0.015 T
- Convert 60 gauss to tesla:
- 60 * 0.0001 = 0.006 T

Conversion Definitions
Gauss
Gauss is a unit measuring magnetic flux density in the centimeter-gram-second system, where 1 gauss equals 10^-4 tesla. It describes the strength of magnetic fields, often used in laboratory and medical applications, and is named after mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss.
Tesla
Tesla is the SI unit for magnetic flux density, representing the strength of magnetic fields. One tesla equals 10,000 gauss and is used globally in scientific research, engineering, and industry to quantify magnetism, named after inventor Nikola Tesla.
Conversion FAQs
Why is the conversion factor from gauss to tesla 0.0001?
The factor 0.0001 arises because 1 tesla is defined as 10,000 gauss, making the conversion straightforward by dividing gauss values by 10,000 or multiplying by 0.0001 to get tesla.
Can I convert gauss to tesla without a calculator?
Yes, since the conversion is simple — multiply the gauss value by 0.0001 — you can do this mentally for common values or use a calculator for more precise results.
Are gauss and tesla used in different fields?
Gauss is often used in laboratory, medical, or older contexts, while tesla is the SI standard in scientific research, industrial applications, and international standards, making tesla more universally accepted for precise measurements.
