    Keith is right.
    10,000 gauss equals 1 Tesla.
    But the question was not a good one because gauss is not a unit of
    force. It is a unit of flux. Flux interactions create forces, but
    that is not the same thing as flux. You have a problem with
    dimensional analysis here similar to there being no direct relationship
    between meters and grams. See what I mean? The question how many
    grams in a meter is a non-sequitur. It's the wrong question.

    With FEMM you can measure the force created by a field you
    set up with a coil, but the force is not the field.

    Check the manual and you should start to see how to do this
    force measurement you need.

    Regards,
