1 tesla equals approximately 10,000 oersted.
The conversion from tesla to oersted is based on the relationship where 1 tesla (T) equals 10,000 oersted (Oe). This is because 1 tesla, a SI unit of magnetic flux density, corresponds to 10,000 oersted, a CGS unit of magnetic field strength, making the conversion straightforward.

Conversion Formula
The formula for converting tesla to oersted relies on the fact that 1 tesla equals 10,000 oersted. So, to convert, you multiply the number of tesla by 10,000. This works because the units relate directly through their definitions where the magnetic flux density and field strength are scaled.
For example, if you have 2 tesla, multiply 2 by 10,000 to get 20,000 oersted. Mathematically: 2 T * 10,000 = 20,000 Oe. This simple multiplication makes conversions quick and easy in practical applications involving magnetic field measurements.
Conversion Example
- Convert 0.5 tesla:
- Multiply 0.5 by 10,000.
- 0.5 * 10,000 = 5,000 oersted.
- Result: 0.5 tesla equals 5,000 oersted.
- Convert 3 tesla:
- Multiply 3 by 10,000.
- 3 * 10,000 = 30,000 oersted.
- Result: 3 tesla equals 30,000 oersted.
- Convert 1.2 tesla:
- Multiply 1.2 by 10,000.
- 1.2 * 10,000 = 12,000 oersted.
- Result: 1.2 tesla equals 12,000 oersted.
- Convert 10 tesla:
- Multiply 10 by 10,000.
- 10 * 10,000 = 100,000 oersted.
- Result: 10 tesla equals 100,000 oersted.

Conversion Definitions
Tesla, symbol T, is the SI unit of magnetic flux density measuring the intensity of magnetic fields. It defines the strength of magnetic fields directly. One tesla equals one weber per square meter, representing the density of magnetic flux in space.
Oersted, symbol Oe, is a CGS (centimeter-gram-second) unit of magnetic field strength. It measures the magnetic field in a way that relates to the magnetizing force. One oersted is the magnetic field intensity that produces a magnetic flux density of 1 gauss in free space.
Conversion FAQs
Is the conversion from tesla to oersted always linear?
Yes, because the relationship between tesla and oersted is based on a fixed conversion factor where 1 tesla equals 10,000 oersted. This linearity makes calculations simple through multiplication.
Can I convert oersted back to tesla using the same formula?
Exactly, to convert oersted to tesla, you divide the oersted value by 10,000. Since the conversion is linear, the inverse calculation is straightforward and maintains accuracy.
Does the conversion change with different magnetic conditions?
No, because the conversion factor is a constant based on definitions of units. Magnetic conditions or material properties do not affect the numerical conversion between tesla and oersted.
Are there any limitations in using the conversion for very high or low values?
The conversion remains accurate across a wide range of values, but in practical situations, measurements might have precision limits. The mathematical relationship stays consistent, though.
What units are involved in these conversions?
The key units are tesla (T) for magnetic flux density in SI system and oersted (Oe) for magnetic field strength in CGS system. The conversion involves scaling between these units based on their definitions.
