"The gauss (symbol: G or Gs) is a legacy CGS unit of magnetic flux density, which was superseded by the tesla (T). One gauss is defined as one maxwell per cm2 (Mx/cm2), which equates to 10-4 tesla, and is therefore a small unit. This is one of the reasons for its stubborn persistence in some scientific fields and its common occurrence in the literature."
