Unit definition
Tesla (T) One tesla equals 1 tesla.
Unit history
The tesla, named for Nikola Tesla, was adopted as the SI unit of magnetic flux density.
Step by step
1. Parse the value, including fractions.
2. Convert T to tesla.
3. Convert the base value to G and apply your display precision.
Understand the result before using it
Tesla to Gauss converts a value measured in Tesla (T) into the equivalent value in Gauss (G). The numerical value changes because the size and definition of the selected unit changes; the underlying quantity does not.
Calculated result
The conversion follows the displayed unit relationship. Display rounding can hide additional digits, and measured inputs cannot become more accurate merely by changing units.
Formula, assumptions, and example
Formula
result = input × 1 ÷ 0.0001
Assumptions
- Tesla and Gauss represent the same magnetic flux density quantity.
- The input is expressed in T; the output is expressed in G.
- The unit definitions and conventional relationship shown on this page apply.
Worked example
1 T = 10,000 G. For another value, apply the same relationship and round only to the precision your source measurement supports.
When to use it
Good uses
- Read a T measurement in a document that expects G.
- Compare a tesla value with a value reported in gauss.
- Check the T to G arithmetic before copying the result into another calculation.
Limitations
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not confuse T with another unit that has a similar name or symbol.
- Round the output to a precision justified by the original measurement.
- Verify safety-critical, regulated, laboratory, and contractual conversions against the controlling standard.

Questions about this calculation
How do I convert Tesla to Gauss?
result = input × 1 ÷ 0.0001. Input is in T; result is in G. 1 T = 10,000 G. The displayed digits may be rounded.
What is 1 T in G?
1 T = 10,000 G. The displayed digits may be rounded.
Can I reverse the T to G conversion?
Yes. Swap the source and target units in the converter. The reverse relationship converts G back to T.
Is the Tesla to Gauss result exact?
The conversion follows the displayed unit relationship. Display rounding can hide additional digits, and measured inputs cannot become more accurate merely by changing units.
