Question 1

How do weber and maxwell relate?

Accepted Answer

1 weber = 10^8 maxwell (100 million). Weber is SI; maxwell is CGS. 1 Wb = 1 V·s = 1 T·m². Flux of 1 maxwell = 1 gauss through 1 cm².

Question 2

Why is magnetic flux important in engineering?

Accepted Answer

Transformers rated by core flux capacity. Motors/generators depend on changing flux. Magnetic saturation limits maximum flux in iron cores. Flux leakage reduces efficiency.

Question 3

What's a typical magnetic field strength?

Accepted Answer

Earth's field: 25-65 microtesla. Fridge magnet: 5 millitesla. MRI machine: 1.5-3 tesla. Strongest lab magnets: 45+ tesla.

Question 4

Why do we have both Tesla and Gauss?

Accepted Answer

Tesla is the SI unit; Gauss is the older CGS unit. 1 Tesla = 10,000 Gauss. Both remain in use across different fields and regions.
