Question

$1Gauss$ is equal to

• A. ${10}^{4}T$
• B. ${10}^{-4}T$
• C. ${10}^{3}T$
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B

${10}^{-4}T$

1. ${10}^{-4}tesla\left(T\right)$ , the International System Unit, equals one $gauss$. $1maxwellpersquarecentimetre$, or ${10}^{4}weberpersquaremetre$, equals one $Gauss$.
2. The $gauss$ (sign $G$) is a unit of magnetic flux density, commonly known as magnetic induction. The unit was inherited from the previous CGS-EMU system by the Gaussian system of units. In $1936$, it was given the name Carl Friedrich Gauss a German mathematician and scientist.
3. Therefore, $gauss$ is equal to ${10}^{-4}tesla$.

Hence, option B is correct.
