Tesla(T)
Definition: Tesla is the SI unit of magnetic flux density or magnetic induction. It is one weber per square meter.
Application: Widely applied in physics and engineering, describing the strength of magnetic fields especially with the following: electromagnets, MRI machines, particle accelerators.
Gauss (G)
Definition: A unit of measurement of magnetic flux density, equivalent to 0.0001 Tesla. Gauss is usually used in the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system.
Usage: Very often applied in old scientific publications and in measuring instruments in which lesser magnetic fields are involved, like geology and magnetics research.
Wb/m²
This unit is also known as one Tesla. It is used to measure or describe the magnetic flux density. It is derived from the SI unit of magnetic flux called the Weber.
Usage: It can be used interchangeably with the term Tesla. This is most especially employed by any study which involves physics and engineering wherein the magnetic field is involved.
Maxwell per square centimeter (Mx/cm²)
It is the CGS unit for measuring magnetic flux density with the equivalent value of 1 microtesla (µT).
Ordinarily, it is used in scientifically special fields like magnetohydrodynamics and some older literature.
Kilotesla (kT)
Kilotesla is equal to 1,000 Teslas, hence measuring extremely high magnetic flux densities.
This mainly applies to scenarios involving extreme magnetic fields such as fusion reactors, astrophysical studies, and experiments in high-energy physics.
Millitesla (mT)
Description: A millitesla is 0.001 Teslas, a useful unit for describing weaker magnetic fields which are yet significant, like in medical imaging.
Usage: Often used in magnetic resonance imaging, laboratory, and some industrial applications.
Microtesla (μT)
Description: A microtesla is 0.000001 Teslas, suitable for measuring small environmental or physiological magnetic fields.
Usage: Usually found in earth magnetic field study, small electronics, low-intensity magnetic fields in biology.
