SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the interpretation of a 2000 millitesla (mT) setting on a measurement device. A reading of 100 on this scale indicates a magnetic field strength of 100 mT, confirming that the device can measure values up to 2000 mT. The confusion arises from the demonstrator's claim of a maximum field strength of approximately 1T, while the user reports a maximum reading of 2T. This discrepancy highlights the importance of understanding the scale settings in relation to actual magnetic field measurements.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of magnetic field measurement units (mT and T)

2000 millitesla setting, it readsi 100 does this mean the field is 0.2T or 0.1T? I was pretty sure it was 0.2T but a demonstrator said the field had a maximum of ~1T but I'm getting a max of 2T.

The meaning of the scale setting is that on this particular setting the meter can read values up to 2000 mT. So 100 on the scale means that the reading is 100 mT.
 
Thanks :).
