ABSTRACT

The unit of magnetic flux is the weber (Wb). A magnetic field has a value of 1 Wb if a conductor moving through it in one second has an e.m.f. of 1 volt induced in it.

Convenient units used are milliweber (mWb)

1Wb = 103 mWb

and the microweber (mWb)

1Wb = 106 mWb

The symbol for magnetic flux is . The flux density in tesla (symbol B) is calculated by dividing the total flux by the c.s.a. of the magnetic field.
