A unit of magnetic flux is a way to measure how much magnetic field passes through an area.

The weber is the standard unit of magnetic flux in the SI system.


OTHER MEANINGS

2. The weber, defined as one volt-second, is the SI derived unit of magnetic flux.

A single loop of wire experiencing a one-volt change per second carries one weber of flux.

3. The maxwell is the CGS unit of magnetic flux, equal to 10⁻⁸ weber.

Older physics texts often express magnetic flux in maxwells rather than webers.

4. In general, any agreed standard used to quantify the total magnetic field crossing a surface.

Engineers chose a convenient unit of magnetic flux to rate the transformer's core.
