Elara BennettThe conversion of 500 gauss equals 0.05 tesla.
Since 1 gauss is equal to 0.0001 tesla, multiplying 500 gauss by this factor converts it to tesla. This conversion is straightforward because the units are related by a simple factor, making it easy to switch between the two magnetic field strength measurements.
Gauss to Tesla Conversion
The formula to convert gauss to tesla is: 1 gauss = 0.0001 tesla. To find the value in tesla, multiply the gauss value by 0.0001. For example, 500 gauss times 0.0001 gives the result in tesla, which is 0.05 tesla.

Conversion Formula
The conversion between gauss and tesla relies on a simple formula. Since 1 gauss equals 0.0001 tesla, to convert gauss to tesla you multiply the gauss value by 0.0001. This works because the units are proportional, with tesla being a larger measurement unit. For example, converting 1000 gauss: 1000 x 0.0001 = 0.1 tesla.
Conversion Example
- Convert 250 gauss:
- Multiply 250 by 0.0001
- 250 x 0.0001 = 0.025 tesla
- Result: 0.025 tesla
- Convert 750 gauss:
- 750 x 0.0001 = 0.075 tesla
- Result: 0.075 tesla
- Convert 100 gauss:
- 100 x 0.0001 = 0.01 tesla
- Result: 0.01 tesla
- Convert 600 gauss:
- 600 x 0.0001 = 0.06 tesla
- Result: 0.06 tesla
- Convert 900 gauss:
- 900 x 0.0001 = 0.09 tesla
- Result: 0.09 tesla

Conversion Definitions
Gauss
The gauss is a unit measuring magnetic flux density or magnetic field strength, where 1 gauss equals 10^-4 tesla, representing the intensity of magnetic fields in various scientific and industrial contexts.
Tesla
The tesla is the SI unit for magnetic flux density, indicating how strong a magnetic field is, with 1 tesla being equal to 10,000 gauss, used in physics, engineering, and magnetic resonance imaging to quantify magnetic forces.
Conversion FAQs
How does increasing gauss affect tesla measurements?
As gauss values increase, the tesla equivalent increases proportionally because the units are directly related by a multiplication factor. Doubling gauss doubles the tesla measurement, reflecting a stronger magnetic field.
Can I convert gauss to tesla without a calculator?
Yes, because the conversion factor is straightforward: 1 gauss equals 0.0001 tesla. You simply multiply the gauss value by this number or move the decimal point four places to the left to find the tesla equivalent.
Why is the tesla unit preferred in scientific research over gauss?
The tesla is part of the SI system, which standardizes measurements worldwide, making it more precise and universally accepted in scientific research compared to gauss, which is an older, non-SI unit.
What are practical examples of magnetic fields in tesla and gauss?
Earth’s magnetic field is about 0.5 gauss or 0.00005 tesla, while MRI machines can produce fields up to 3 tesla, illustrating the difference in magnitude and the units used to measure such strengths.
