Converting from Gauss (G) to Nanotesla (nT) | Magnetic Field

What is Gauss (G)

Gauss (G) is a unit used to measure magnetic field strength. It is named after the German mathematician and physicist Carl Friedrich Gauss. One Gauss is equal to one maxwell per square centimeter.

What is Nanotesla (nT)

Nanotesla (nT) is a unit of magnetic field strength in the International System of Units (SI). One nanotesla is equivalent to one billionth of a Tesla, which is the SI unit of magnetic induction.

Conversion Formulas

The standard conversion between Gauss (G) and Nanotesla (nT) is as follows:

1(G)=100000(nT)

1(nT)=0.00001(G)

Additional conversions include:

4(G)=400000(nT)

4(nT)=0.00004(G)

12(G)=1200000(nT)

12(nT)=0.00012(G)

10(G)=1000000(nT)

10(nT)=0.0001(G)

Examples

1. Convert 8 Gauss to Nanotesla:

8(G)×100000=800000(nT)

2. Convert 6 Nanotesla to Gauss:

6(nT)×0.00001=0.00006(G)

Performing these conversions accurately is essential for various applications in physics, engineering, and geophysics.
