- Assumption
- Magnetic flux density conversions use exact SI prefix relationships. One gauss equals exactly 1e-4 tesla, one gamma equals one nanotesla, and one tesla equals one weber per square meter. Field strength at a real point depends on geometry, distance, materials, shielding, and measurement conditions.
