Frequently Asked Questions

What is the exact conversion factor between Tesla (T) and Gauss (G)?

1 Tesla equals exactly 10,000 Gauss. Conversely, 1 Gauss equals 0.0001 Tesla (10⁻⁴ T) or 100 Microtesla (100 µT).

What is the physical definition of 1 Tesla?

One Tesla is defined as the magnetic flux density that exerts a force of 1 Newton on a 1-meter long straight conductor carrying an electric current of 1 Ampere perpendicular to the magnetic field = 1 Wb/m² = 1 kg /).

How is magnetic energy density calculated from flux density B?

The volumetric magnetic energy density in free space is u = B² / (2μ₀), where μ₀ = 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m. For a 1.5 Tesla MRI magnet, u = (1.5)² / = 895,247 J/m³.

What is the strength of Earth's magnetic field in Tesla and Gauss?

Earth's magnetic field at the surface ranges from approximately 25 to 65 Microtesla (0.25 to 0.65 Gauss or 250 to 650 Milligauss), varying by latitude and local geological structures.

What is the '5-Gauss line' in MRI facilities?

The 5-Gauss (0.5 mT) line is the designated safety perimeter surrounding an MRI scanner room beyond which magnetic fields can interfere with cardiac pacemakers, neurostimulators, and attract loose ferromagnetic objects.
