Gauss (unit) - Typical Values

Typical Values

  • 10−9–10−8 gauss – the magnetic field of the human brain
  • 0.31–0.58 gauss – the Earth's magnetic field at its surface
  • 25 gauss – the Earth's magnetic field in its core
  • 50 gauss – a typical refrigerator magnet
  • 100 gauss – a small iron magnet
  • 2000 gauss – a small neodymium-iron-boron (NIB) magnet
  • 600-70,000 gauss – a medical magnetic resonance imaging machine
  • 1012–1013 gauss – the surface of a neutron star
  • 4×1013 gauss – the quantum electrodynamic threshold
  • 1015 gauss – the magnetic field of some newly created magnetars
  • 1017 gauss – the upper limit to neutron star magnetism; no known object in the universe can generate a stronger magnetic field

Famous quotes containing the words typical and/or values:

    Consciousness is cerebral celebrity—nothing more and nothing less. Those contents are conscious that persevere, that monopolize resources long enough to achieve certain typical and “symptomatic” effects—on memory, on the control of behavior and so forth.
    Daniel Clement Dennett (b. 1942)

    Today so much rebellion is aimless and demoralizing precisely because children have no values to challenge. Teenage rebellion is a testing process in which young people try out various values in order to make them their own. But during those years of trial, error, embarrassment, a child needs family standards to fall back on, reliable habits of thought and feeling that provide security and protection.
    Neil Kurshan (20th century)
