Frequently Asked Questions
What is magnetic flux density?
Magnetic flux density (also called magnetic induction or magnetic field strength) is a vector quantity that measures the strength and direction of a magnetic field. It represents how dense the magnetic field lines are in a given area. The higher the magnetic flux density, the stronger the magnetic effect in that region.
What’s the difference between Tesla and Gauss?
Tesla (T) is the SI unit for magnetic flux density, while Gauss (G) is the CGS unit. They measure the same physical property but at different scales. 1 Tesla equals 10,000 Gauss. Tesla is typically used in scientific research and international standards, while Gauss is still commonly used in certain industries and applications, particularly in the United States.
Why do we need so many different magnetic flux density units?
Different units evolved from different measurement systems (SI, CGS) and different fields of application. Additionally, the wide range of magnetic field strengths encountered in nature and technology—from the Earth’s magnetic field (approximately 25-65 microtesla) to MRI machines (1.5-3 tesla) to extremely strong laboratory magnets (up to 45 tesla)—necessitates units with different scales and prefixes to represent values conveniently.
What are some common magnetic flux density values in everyday life?
Some common magnetic flux density values include:
- Earth’s magnetic field: ~25-65 microtesla (0.25-0.65 gauss)
- Refrigerator magnet: ~5 millitesla (50 gauss)
- Small neodymium magnet: ~1 tesla (10,000 gauss)
- MRI machine: 1.5-3 tesla (15,000-30,000 gauss)
- Strong laboratory electromagnet: up to 45 tesla (450,000 gauss)
Are Weber/m² and Tesla the same thing?
Yes, 1 Weber per square meter (1 Wb/m²) is equal to 1 Tesla (1 T). The Tesla unit is defined this way. Weber is the SI unit of magnetic flux, and when divided by area (square meters), it gives magnetic flux density, which is measured in Tesla.
