Tesla vs. Gauss

The SI-derived unit of magnetic flux density, equal to the magnitude of the magnetic field vector necessary to produce a force of one newton on a charge of one coulomb moving perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field vector with a velocity of one meter per second. It is equivalent to one weber per square meter. See Table at measurement.

The centimeter-gram-second unit of magnetic flux density, equal to one maxwell per square centimeter.

In the International System of Units, the derived unit of magnetic flux density or magnetic inductivity. Symbol: T

The unit of magnetic field strength in CGS systems of units, equal to 0.0001 tesla.

a unit of magnetic flux density equal to one weber per square meter

The C.G.S. unit of density of magnetic field, equal to a field of one line of force per square centimeter, being thus adopted as an international unit at Paris in 1900; sometimes used as a unit of intensity of magnetic field. It was previously suggested as a unit of magnetomotive force.

United States electrical engineer and inventor (born in Croatia but of Serbian descent) who discovered the principles of alternating currents and developed the first alternating-current induction motor and the Tesla coil and several forms of oscillators (1856-1943)

Karl F. Gauss, a German mathematician.

a unit of magnetic flux density equal to 1 maxwell per square centimeter

German mathematician who developed the theory of numbers and who applied mathematics to electricity and magnetism and astronomy and geodesy (1777-1855)
