Variation in area or flux density across samples may affect conversion precision
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one weber represent?
-
One weber is the SI derived unit of magnetic flux, equal to one tesla square meter or one volt-second, representing the amount of magnetic field through a surface that induces one volt when reduced to zero in one second.
-
Why convert from weber to tesla square centimeter?
-
Converting to tesla square centimeter is useful to express magnetic flux for smaller areas such as electronic components or sensor apertures, allowing more precise and convenient flux representation.
-
What should I consider when converting large flux values?
-
Because of the large multiplication factor (10,000), converting large flux values to tesla square centimeters can produce very large numbers that may be difficult to manage.
