Orders of magnitude (magnetic field)

This page lists examples of magnetic induction B in teslas and gauss produced by various sources, grouped by orders of magnitude.

Note:

  • Traditionally, magnetizing field H, is measured in amperes per meter.
  • Magnetic induction B (also known as magnetic flux density) has the SI unit tesla [T or Wb/m2].
  • One tesla is equal to 104 gauss.
  • Magnetic field drops off as the inverse cube of the distance (1/distance3) from a dipole source.
  • Energy required to produce laboratory magnetic fields increases with the square of magnetic field.
