Magnetic Flux Converter

About This Tool

This Magnetic Flux Converter is a tool used in physics and electrical engineering to convert units of magnetic flux (Φ). Magnetic flux is a measurement of the total magnetic field that passes through a given area. The base unit is the weber (Wb).

Magnetic flux is a fundamental concept in Faraday's law of induction, which describes how a changing magnetic field creates an electric voltage. This tool is essential for analyzing transformers, inductors, and electric generators.

Tips & Features

• The Weber (Wb): The weber is the SI unit of magnetic flux. One weber is the magnetic flux that, linking a circuit of one turn, would produce in it an electromotive force of one volt if it were reduced to zero at a uniform rate in one second.
• Maxwell (Mx): The maxwell is the corresponding CGS unit for magnetic flux. One weber is equal to 100 million maxwells. The maxwell is an older unit but is still sometimes encountered.
• Flux vs. Flux Density: Magnetic flux (in webers) is the total 'amount' of magnetic field over an area, while magnetic flux density (in teslas) is the 'strength' of the field per unit area. Therefore, 1 Weber = 1 Tesla × 1 Square Meter.
