  2. Tesla (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_(unit)

    The tesla (symbol: T) is the unit of magnetic flux density (also called magnetic B-field strength) in the International System of Units (SI). One tesla is equal to one weber per square metre .

  3. Orders of magnitude (magnetic field) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude...

    Magnetic induction B (also known as magnetic flux density) has the SI unit tesla [T or Wb/m 2]. [1] One tesla is equal to 10 4 gauss. Magnetic field drops off as the inverse cube of the distance (⁠ 1 / distance 3 ⁠) from a dipole source. Energy required to produce laboratory magnetic fields increases with the square of magnetic field. [2]

  4. Gauss (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_(unit)

    The gauss is the unit of magnetic flux density B in the system of Gaussian units and is equal to Mx/cm 2 or g/Bi/s 2, while the oersted is the unit of H-field. One tesla (T) corresponds to 10 4 gauss, and one ampere (A) per metre corresponds to 4π × 10 −3 oersted.

  5. Oersted - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oersted

    In the CGS system, the unit of the H-field is the oersted and the unit of the B-field is the gauss.In the SI system, the unit ampere per meter (A/m), which is equivalent to newton per weber, is used for the H-field and the unit of tesla is used for the B-field.

  6. Maxwell (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell_(unit)

    1 maxwell = 1 gauss × 2. That is, one maxwell is the total flux across a surface of one square centimetre perpendicular to a magnetic field of strength one gauss. The weber is the related SI unit of magnetic flux, which was defined in 1946. [9] 1 maxwell ≘ 10 −4 tesla × (10 −2 metre) 2 = 10 −8 weber

  7. Permeability (electromagnetism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeability...

    The SI units of B are volt-seconds per square meter, a ratio equivalent to one tesla. The concept of permeability arises since in many materials (and in vacuum), there is a simple relationship between H and B at any location or time, in that the two fields are precisely proportional to each other: [2] =,

  8. Gaussian units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_units

    Carl Friedrich Gauss. Gaussian units constitute a metric system of physical units. This system is the most common of the several electromagnetic unit systems based on cgs (centimetre–gram–second) units. It is also called the Gaussian unit system, Gaussian-cgs units, or often just cgs units.

  9. Magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field

    In 1887, Tesla developed an induction motor that ran on alternating current. The motor used polyphase current, which generated a rotating magnetic field to turn the motor (a principle that Tesla claimed to have conceived in 1882). [64] [65] [66] Tesla received a patent for his electric motor in May 1888.
