Frequently Asked Questions
What is magnetic flux?
Magnetic flux is a measure of the total magnetic field passing through a given area. It is a scalar quantity represented by the symbol Φ (phi). The SI unit of magnetic flux is the weber (Wb). Magnetic flux is calculated as the product of the magnetic field strength (B) and the area (A) perpendicular to the field: Φ = B × A.
What’s the difference between Weber and Maxwell?
Weber (Wb) is the SI unit of magnetic flux, while Maxwell (Mx) is the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) unit. The conversion between them is straightforward: 1 Weber = 10⁸ Maxwell (or 100,000,000 Maxwell). Weber is more commonly used in modern scientific and engineering applications.
Why is the volt-second equivalent to Weber?
The weber is equivalent to the volt-second because of Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. When magnetic flux through a circuit changes by 1 weber in 1 second, it induces an electromotive force of 1 volt. This relationship is fundamental to the operation of electric generators, transformers, and many other electromagnetic devices.
How is Tesla related to Weber?
Tesla (T) is the unit of magnetic flux density or magnetic field strength, while Weber (Wb) is the unit of total magnetic flux. The relationship is: 1 Weber = 1 Tesla × 1 square meter. In other words, if a uniform magnetic field of 1 Tesla passes through an area of 1 square meter perpendicular to the field, the total magnetic flux is 1 Weber.
When would I need to convert between magnetic flux units?
You might need to convert between magnetic flux units when working with different systems of measurement, when comparing results from different sources, when studying older scientific literature (which often uses CGS units like Maxwell), or when working with specific equipment calibrated in different units. These conversions are common in electrical engineering, physics research, and electromagnetism studies.
