How to convert oersted to gauss
Enter your magnetic field strength in oersted and get the equivalent in gauss instantly. Key reference points: Earth's magnetic field is about 25-65 microtesla (0.25-0.65 gauss), a typical MRI machine operates at 1.5-3 tesla, and a refrigerator magnet is about 5 millitesla.
Oersted and gauss are both CGS magnetic units; oersted measures the magnetizing force (H) while gauss measures the resulting flux density (B). In vacuum they are numerically identical.
