Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a magnetic flux quantum?
-
The magnetic flux quantum is the smallest discrete unit of magnetic flux, fundamental in superconducting loops and quantum devices, defined by the Planck constant divided by twice the elementary charge.
-
What does one weber represent?
-
One weber is the SI derived unit of magnetic flux which equals one tesla-square meter and represents the amount of magnetic field passing through a surface that induces one volt in a single-turn circuit when flux changes uniformly over one second.
