Unit Explanations
WeberWb
Source UnitThe weber (symbol: Wb) is the SI unit of magnetic flux, defined as the amount of magnetic field passing through a surface. One weber is equivalent to one volt-second, which is the magnetic flux that, when linked with a circuit, induces an electromotive force of one volt as it changes at a rate of one weber per second. This unit is crucial for understanding electromagnetic systems and their interactions with electric circuits.
Current Use
The weber is extensively used in electrical engineering and physics, particularly in the analysis of magnetic circuits and the design of electrical machines. It provides a clear quantification of magnetic flux in various applications, including transformers, inductors, and magnetic sensors.
Fun Fact
The weber is used to measure not only magnetic flux but also magnetic fields in various scientific experiments.
Tesla Square CentimeterT·cm²
Target UnitThe tesla square centimeter (T·cm²) is a derived unit of measurement used to quantify magnetic flux density over a specified area. It is defined as the magnetic flux density (in teslas) multiplied by the area (in square centimeters) through which the magnetic field lines pass. The tesla itself is the SI unit of magnetic flux density, where one tesla is equivalent to one weber per square meter. Therefore, one tesla square centimeter is equal to one weber per square centimeter, providing a measure of the total magnetic field strength applied over a given area.
Current Use
The tesla square centimeter is primarily used in scientific research and engineering applications related to electromagnetism. It is particularly relevant in fields such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), materials science, and electrical engineering, where the effects of magnetic fields on small areas are critical. Industries that utilize this unit include healthcare, automotive, and technology, particularly in the development of magnetic sensors and devices.
Fun Fact
Nikola Tesla, who the unit is named after, invented the Tesla coil, a device that produces high-voltage, low-current electricity.

Tesla Square Centimeter
magnetic • Non-SI
Definition
The tesla square centimeter (T·cm²) is a derived unit of measurement used to quantify magnetic flux density over a specified area. It is defined as the magnetic flux density (in teslas) multiplied by the area (in square centimeters) through which the magnetic field lines pass. The tesla itself is the SI unit of magnetic flux density, where one tesla is equivalent to one weber per square meter. Therefore, one tesla square centimeter is equal to one weber per square centimeter, providing a measure of the total magnetic field strength applied over a given area.
History & Origin
The unit 'tesla' was named in honor of Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American inventor and electrical engineer whose work contributed significantly to the development of alternating current (AC) electricity supply systems. The tesla was officially adopted as the SI unit of magnetic flux density in 1960 during the 11th General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM). The square centimeter is a commonly used area measurement, making this derived unit practical in various applications in electromagnetism.
Etymology: The name 'tesla' originates from Nikola Tesla's surname, reflecting his contributions to electrical engineering and electromagnetism, while 'centimeter' derives from the Latin 'centum' meaning 'hundred' and 'metrum' from Greek meaning 'measure', indicating one-hundredth of a meter.
Current Use
The tesla square centimeter is primarily used in scientific research and engineering applications related to electromagnetism. It is particularly relevant in fields such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), materials science, and electrical engineering, where the effects of magnetic fields on small areas are critical. Industries that utilize this unit include healthcare, automotive, and technology, particularly in the development of magnetic sensors and devices.
💡 Fun Facts
- •Nikola Tesla, who the unit is named after, invented the Tesla coil, a device that produces high-voltage, low-current electricity.
- •The tesla is a relatively large unit; magnetic fields of everyday magnets are typically in the millitesla range (1/1000 of a tesla).
- •In a strong magnetic field, such as in an MRI machine, the human body can experience induced currents that affect how it interacts with the field.
