Why am I now reading gauss, mTesla and Tesla?
The metric equivalent Tesla has over shadowed the standard unit gauss due to the numerous studies done on the efficacy of magnetic therapy in Europe. The most prevalent use of the metric term Tesla in these reports is now the mTesla (milli-Tesla.) The gauss measurement of any magnet can be quickly changed to its metric equivalent Tesla by simply moving the decimal point left four spaces. The Tesla unit can be changed quickly to mTesla by moving the decimal point to the left three spaces.
