The Weber (Wb) is the SI unit of magnetic flux, named after German physicist Wilhelm Eduard Weber. It represents the total magnetic field passing through a surface and is defined as the flux that produces an electromotive force of one volt when reduced to zero uniformly in one second. Weber is used in electromagnetic induction calculations, transformer design, and motor engineering. One Weber equals 100 million Maxwell, making it a substantially larger unit. The Weber is fundamental in understanding electromagnetic phenomena, including how generators and motors convert mechanical energy to electrical energy and vice versa.
Formula: Maxwell = Weber × 108 (or Weber × 100,000,000)
Steps:
Example: Convert 0.5 Weber to Maxwell
0.5 Wb × 100,000,000 = 50,000,000 Mx
1 Weber equals exactly 100,000,000 (108) Maxwell.
Weber measures magnetic flux (total field), while Tesla measures magnetic flux density (field strength per area). 1 Wb = 1 T·m².
Yes, Weber is the SI unit for magnetic flux, while Maxwell is the CGS unit.
Weber measures the total magnetic flux linking transformer windings, which determines induced voltage according to Faraday's law.
Maxwell provides convenient values for smaller flux measurements and is traditional in some engineering fields.
Magnetic flux is created by magnetic fields passing through a surface area, generated by magnets or electric currents.
