Result: 1 Tesla equals 10,000 Oersted
Converting 1 tesla to oersted results in 10,000 oersted. This is because 1 tesla is equal to 10,000 oersted when converting magnetic flux density measurements between the SI and CGS systems.
The conversion is based on the relationship between tesla and oersted, where 1 tesla equals 10,000 oersted. This ratio comes from the definitions of magnetic field strength and flux density in the SI and CGS units, making it straightforward to switch between the two units for magnetic field measurements.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert tesla to oersted is simple: multiply the tesla value by 10,000. This works because 1 tesla equals 10,000 oersted. For example, if you have 0.5 tesla, multiply 0.5 by 10,000 to get 5,000 oersted. The conversion is direct, based on their respective definitions in the units system.
Mathematically, it’s: Oersted = Tesla × 10,000. This calculation works because the units are proportional, with the factor 10,000 being the key conversion constant derived from the definitions of magnetic flux density in SI and CGS units.
Conversion Example
- Convert 2 tesla to oersted:
- Step 1: Take the value in tesla, which is 2.

- Convert 0.75 tesla to oersted:
- Step 1: Take 0.75 in tesla.
- Step 2: Multiply by 10,000.
- Step 3: 0.75 × 10,000 = 7,500 oersted.
- Convert 5.5 tesla to oersted:
- Step 1: Start with 5.5 tesla.
- Step 2: Multiply by 10,000.
- Step 3: 5.5 × 10,000 = 55,000 oersted.

Conversion Definitions
Tesla
The tesla (T) measures magnetic flux density in the SI system, describing the strength of magnetic fields. It defines how much magnetic flux passes through a given area, with 1 tesla representing a very strong magnetic field often found near powerful magnets or MRI machines.
Oersted
The oersted (Oe) measures magnetic field strength in the CGS system, indicating the intensity of a magnetic field. It defines the magnetic field around a current-carrying wire, with 1 oersted representing a magnetic field produced by a specific current in the CGS units.
Conversion FAQs
Why is the conversion factor between tesla and oersted exactly 10,000?
The factor 10,000 arises from the definitions of magnetic flux density in the SI and CGS systems. In SI units, 1 tesla corresponds to 10,000 oersted because of the way magnetic fields are quantified in each measurement system, making the conversion straightforward.
Can I convert oersted back to tesla using the same formula?
Yes, but you need to divide the oersted value by 10,000 to get the tesla value. The reverse calculation is: Tesla = Oersted / 10,000, because the original ratio was multiplying tesla by 10,000 to get oersted.
Is the conversion valid for all magnetic field strengths?
Yes, the conversion applies universally for magnetic flux density and magnetic field strength measurements between the SI and CGS systems, regardless of the field’s magnitude. However, ensure units are correctly labeled before conversion.
