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.
Weber per Square CentimeterWb/cm²
Target UnitThe weber per square centimeter (Wb/cm²) is a derived unit of measurement for magnetic flux density, which quantifies the amount of magnetic flux passing through a unit area. One weber per square centimeter is equivalent to one weber of magnetic flux spread uniformly across an area of one square centimeter. This unit is particularly useful in applications where magnetic fields are encountered in relatively small areas, such as in magnetic sensors or in materials science involving magnetic properties.
Current Use
The weber per square centimeter is commonly used in industries involving electromagnetism, such as electronics, automotive, and materials science. It provides essential measurements for evaluating magnetic material properties, sensor outputs, and magnetic field strengths in compact systems. Countries engaging in advanced engineering and research, including the USA, Germany, and Japan, frequently utilize this unit in their scientific literature and technical applications.
Fun Fact
The weber is the SI unit of magnetic flux, which can be thought of as 'magnetic electricity'.
