In physics, the tesla (symbol T) is the SI unit for the strength of magnetic induction B:
- 1 T = 1 Wb/m2 = 1 V⋅s/m2,
where Wb (weber) is the SI unit for magnetic flux. One tesla is 10 000 gauss (the Gaussian unit for |B|).
The tesla is named in honor of the electrical engineer Nikola Tesla (1856 – 1953).
