Tesla (unit)

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).
