Maxwell per square centimeter to Microtesla Converter
Use this page to convert maxwell per square centimeter values into microtesla, with background details, formulas, a worked example, and a quick conversion table.
Conversion formula
1 Mx/cm² = 100 uT
1 uT = 0.01 Mx/cm²
Example: 1 Mx/cm² = 100 uT
Maxwell per square centimeter
One maxwell per square centimeter is exactly one gauss or 0.0001 teslas.
History: Derived from CGS units where 1 Maxwell = 1 Gauss × 1 cm².
Current use: Used in legacy magnetic specifications and CGS physics.
Also written as Mx/cm².
Microtesla
One microtesla is equal to one millionth of a tesla (1e-6 teslas).
History: Earth's geomagnetic field is about 25 to 65 microteslas, making this scale practical for environmental fields.
Current use: Used for geomagnetism, compass calibration, electromagnetic exposure measurements, and weak-field sensors.
Also written as uT.
