Weber per square meter
-
The SI derived unit for magnetic flux density equal to one weber of magnetic flux spread over one square meter, identical to the tesla.
-
Tesla [T]
-
The SI derived unit of magnetic flux density representing one weber per square meter, used to quantify the magnetic field strength.
-
Magnetic flux density
-
A measure of the strength and concentration of magnetic flux through a given area.
