The converted result of 0.2 gauss to tesla is 0.00002 tesla.
Since 1 gauss equals 0.0001 tesla, multiplying 0.2 by this factor gives the value in tesla, which means the magnetic field strength in tesla is a tiny fraction of a tesla. This conversion helps relate the magnetic field measurement in gauss to the SI unit tesla, standard in scientific contexts.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert gauss to tesla multiply the gauss value by 0.0001 because 1 gauss equals 0.0001 tesla. This works because the tesla is the SI unit of magnetic flux density, and the gauss is a cgs unit. For example, converting 1 gauss: 1 × 0.0001 = 0.0001 tesla. For 0.2 gauss, multiply 0.2 by 0.0001: 0.2 × 0.0001 = 0.00002 tesla.
Conversion Example
- Convert 1 gauss to tesla:
- Multiply 1 by 0.0001

- Convert 0.5 gauss to tesla:
- Multiply 0.5 by 0.0001
- Result: 0.00005 tesla
- Convert 2.5 gauss to tesla:
- Multiply 2.5 by 0.0001
- Result: 0.00025 tesla

Conversion Definitions
Gauss
The gauss is a unit of magnetic flux density in the centimeter-gram-second system, representing the magnetic field strength. 1 gauss equals 10^-4 tesla, used mainly in cgs systems, indicating the intensity of a magnetic field in a specific area.
Tesla
The tesla is the SI measurement of magnetic flux density, expressing the strength of a magnetic field in a standardized international system. 1 tesla equals 10,000 gauss, used in scientific and industrial applications to quantify magnetic fields accurately.
Conversion FAQs
Why is the tesla unit considered more modern than gauss?
The tesla is part of the SI system, which is internationally recognized and standardized for scientific measurements, whereas gauss is from the older cgs system. This makes tesla more precise and widely accepted in current scientific research.
Can I convert gauss to tesla manually or do I need special tools?
You can convert gauss to tesla manually by multiplying the gauss value by 0.0001. For quick calculations, a calculator suffices, but for repeated or complex conversions, using online tools or software can reduce errors.
Does magnetic field strength in gauss change with distance?
Yes, magnetic field strength decreases as distance from the source increases. Conversion between gauss and tesla only measures the magnetic flux density at a specific point, not how it varies with distance.
