Why is the Gauss used instead of the Tesla to describe the strength of a magnetic field?
Njs9
Both units are used to measure magnetic flux density. The tesla is the SI unit of measurement, whereas the gauss is an obsolete, cgsA, unit.

What is magnetic field strength measured in?
Gauss
What does magnetic flux mean in physics?
The magnetic flux is the measure of the strength of a magnetic field. The total magnetic flux through a closed surface is zero, according to Gauss's law for magnetism.
What is the difference between gauss and tesle?
Both measure the same thing: magnetic flux density (magnetic field). The gauss is a unit of the older cgs system; the tesla is part of the currently-used SI system. 1 tesla = 10,000 gauss.
What is gauss meter?
A gauss meter is simply a tool to measure the amount of magnitism.
In what unit do you measure magnetic energy in?
asked this question on yahoo answers and this came up Answer 1 Magnetism generates a force and by itself it is not an energy. You generate energy by letting the magnetic force pull things together. In the same way that a hill is not an energy but if you roll down it you generate energy. To get back to the top you have to put the energy back in. Answer 2 Gauss is the unit of magnetic induction or magnetic flux density. I think this might be the answer to your question, but I am not sure
What is magnetic field strength measured in?
Gauss
What is 2825 gauss?
Gauss is an old (cgs) unit for magnetic field strength. To convert to modern units (tesla), divide by 10,000.
How strong is earth's magnetic field?
Not very strong in comparison with a typical small "bar magnet" which has a field strength of roughly 100 gauss. Earth's magnetic field strength at the surface is about 0.3 to 0.6 gauss. That's stronger than some planets and weaker than others.
What is a gaussmeter?
A Gauss Meter, or magnetometer, is an electronic device that is used to measure the strength of magnetic fields. Gauss Meters are commonly used to measure the strength of magnets and magnetic effects in electronics. They can also be used as metal detectors.
What does magnetic flux mean in physics?
The magnetic flux is the measure of the strength of a magnetic field. The total magnetic flux through a closed surface is zero, according to Gauss's law for magnetism.
How many gauss in a volt?
There are no Gauss in a volt. The Gauss is the centimetre-gram-second system unit of measurement of a magnetic field (which is also known as the "magnetic flux density", or the "magnetic induction"). It was named after the German mathematician and physicist Karl Gauss. One gauss is defined as one maxwell per square centimeter; it equals 1 × 10−4 tesla. - - 10−9-10−8 gauss in the magnetic field of the human brain - - 0.31-0.58 gauss: in Earth's magnetic field - - 50 gauss: in a typical refrigerator magnet - - 100 gauss in a small iron magnet - - 2000 gauss in a small neodymium-iron-boron magnet - - 15,000-30,000 gauss in a medical magnetic resonance imaging electromagnet
What is the magnetic field expressed in gauss of a refrigerator magnet with a magnetic field of 0.3T?
Thw magnetic fringe field should not exceed how much gauss units?
What are magnetic lines of forces?
Electro magnetic flux which is in maxwells and gauss.
What is the unit of the magnetic field?
the unit of magnetic field is tesla (si unit ) and gauss (cgs ) unit.1 tesla = 10,000 gauss .1 tesla= 1N/mAAnswerIt depends on what you mean by 'magnetic field'. If you mean 'magnetic flux', then the SI unit is the weber(pronounced 'vay-ber'). If you mean 'magnetic flux density', then the SI unit is the tesla. If you mean 'magnetic field strength', then the SI unit is the ampere per metre.
What is the unit of magnetic power?
That would be Gauss.
How are magnetic fields measured?
We can say magnetic field strength is a measure of magnetic strength of a magnet.. like electric field density in electrostatics.... ex consider a current carrying wire which produce a magnetic field in radial direction... by using ampere law.. we can easily find magnetic field strength at a point (r distance from wire)... H=I/(2*3.14*r).. its like finding a electric field intensity by Guass law.......The magnetic field ranges from less than 30 micro-teslas (0.3 gauss) to 60 microteslas (0.6 gauss) The strength varies daily usually about 25 nanoteslas (nT) with variations every second of 1 nTAnswerMagnetic field strength (symbol H) is defined as the magnetomotive force per unit length of a magnetic circuit, and is expressed in amperes per metre (A/m). The original answer appears to be defining flux density(expressed in teslas), not magnetic field strength.
Who developed magnetic flux?
Carl Friedrich Gauss
