How to Convert Oersteds to Teslas
Converting oersteds (Oe) to teslas (T) is a common conversion in physics and engineering. One oersted is equal to approximately 0.0001256637 teslas.
Formula
Teslas = Oersteds × (4 × π × 10^-7)
or
T = Oe × (4 × π × 10^-7)
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in oersteds
- Multiply that number by (4 × π × 10^-7)
- The result is the equivalent amount in teslas
Examples
- 1 Oe = 0.0001256637 T
- 10 Oe = 0.001256637 T
- 100 Oe = 0.01256637 T
When to Convert Oersteds to Teslas

Frequently Asked Questions
How many teslas are in an oersted?
There are approximately 0.0001256637 teslas in one oersted.
Why is the conversion factor (4 × π × 10^-7)?
The conversion between tesla and oersted depends on the magnetic permeability of free space (μ0), which is 4π × 10^-7 T·m/A. The oersted is a unit of magnetic field strength in the CGS system, while the tesla is the SI unit.
