Amplitude
Field StrengthThe strength or intensity of the electromagnetic field produced by a PEMF device, measured in Gauss (G) or Tesla (T). Amplitude is distinct from frequency: it describes how powerful each pulse is, not how often pulses occur. A higher amplitude keeps the field above a usable level farther from the coil, which is greater reach rather than the field forcing its way through tissue. In high-intensity PEMF devices, amplitudes typically run from around 1,000 Gauss up to roughly 1 to 2 Tesla (10,000 to 20,000 Gauss) at the extreme.
