Which of the following parameters is measured in Weber?

Concept :

• Magnetic flux is defined as the number of magnetic field lines passing through a given closed surface. It provides the measurement of the total magnetic field that passes through a given surface area. Here, the area under consideration can be of any size and under any orientation with respect to the direction of the magnetic field.

Magnetic flux is given by: ΦB = BA cos θ where

• ΦB is the magnetic flux.
• B is the magnetic field
• A is the area
• θ the angle at which the field lines pass through the given surface

Magnetic flux is usually measured with a flux meter. The SI and CGS unit of magnetic flux is given below:

• SI unit of magnetic flux is Weber (Wb).
• The fundamental unit is Volt-seconds.
• The CGS unit is Maxwell.
