How to Convert Oersted to Tesla?

[Amith2006]

# If the magnetic field is Oersted, how to convert it into Tesla? Suppose the magnetic field is 50 Oersted, in Tesla what is the magnetic field?

Hello Amith2006,

the following relation for magnetic field strength given in Ampere A/metre m and Oersted Oe holds true for vacuum and matter:

$$1\,\frac{A}{m}=4\pi\,10^{-3}\,Oe$$


In vacuum a magnetic field strength of $1\,\frac{A}{m}$ will lead to a magnetic flux density of $4\pi\,10^{-7}\,T$.

To convert from Oersted to Tesla, you can use the following formula:

1 Oersted = 0.0001 Tesla

Therefore, to convert 50 Oersted to Tesla, you would use:

50 Oersted * 0.0001 Tesla/Oersted = 0.005 Tesla

So the magnetic field of 50 Oersted would be equivalent to 0.005 Tesla. It is important to note that this conversion is only valid for static magnetic fields. For dynamic or varying magnetic fields, additional factors such as frequency and wavelength must be taken into account.
