800 gauss (800 G)
800 gauss equals 0.08 teslas, 80,000 microteslas, 80 milliteslas and 80,000,000 nanoteslas.
800 gauss = 0.08 teslas
What 800 gauss means in practice
800 gauss sits between a fridge magnet (50 G) and a strong neodymium magnet (12,500 G).
- The human brain's magnetic field: 1 × 10-8 G
- The Earth's magnetic field: 0.5 G
- A fridge magnet: 50 G
- A strong neodymium magnet: 12,500 G
- A hospital MRI scanner: 30,000 G
- The strongest continuous lab magnets: 450,000 G
- A neutron star: 1,000,000,000,000 G
- A magnetar: 1 × 1015 G

About the gauss
The gauss is the CGS unit of magnetic flux density, 1/10,000 of a tesla, named after Carl Friedrich Gauss. Read more about gauss.
