MilliwebermWb
Source UnitThe milliweber (mWb) is a derived unit of magnetic flux in the International System of Units (SI) that represents one thousandth of a weber (Wb). Magnetic flux quantifies the total magnetic field passing through a given area and is critical in understanding electromagnetic phenomena. The concept is essential in applications ranging from electrical engineering to physics, as it allows for the calculation of induced voltage and the analysis of electromagnetic systems. The milliweber is most commonly used in contexts where small magnetic flux values are encountered, such as in sensors and electronic devices.
Current Use
The milliweber is commonly used in various industries, particularly in electrical engineering, telecommunications, and medical imaging. It plays a crucial role in sensor technology, where precise magnetic flux measurements are essential. In the field of telecommunications, milliwebers help quantify the performance of magnetic components in devices. The use of milliwebers is also seen in research labs where scientists measure small magnetic flux changes in experiments involving electromagnetic fields.
Fun Fact
The weber, and consequently the milliweber, is defined in terms of the SI base unit for electric current, making it essential for electromagnetic studies.
Gammaγ
Target UnitGamma (symbol: γ) is a non-SI unit of magnetic flux density, representing one nanotesla (1 nT). It is defined as the magnetic field produced by a force of one newton acting on a charge of one coulomb moving at a velocity of one meter per second. The gamma unit is primarily used in geophysics and metrology, where it measures the strength of magnetic fields, particularly in the context of the Earth's magnetic field.
Current Use
Gamma is widely utilized in geophysical surveys, environmental monitoring, and in the medical field, particularly in MRI technology. It serves as a standard measure of the Earth's magnetic field, aiding in navigation and geological exploration. Various instruments, such as magnetometers, are calibrated in gammas to ensure accurate readings in diverse applications.
Fun Fact
One gamma is equal to one nanotesla, which is one billionth of a tesla, the SI unit of magnetic flux density.

The milliweber is most commonly used in contexts where small magnetic flux values are encountered, such as in sensors and electronic devices.
History & Origin
The unit milliweber was established in the late 19th century as part of the effort to standardize electromagnetic measurements. It is derived from the weber, which was named after the German physicist Wilhelm Eduard Weber who made significant contributions to the field of electromagnetism. The weber was adopted as a standard unit in the International System of Units in 1960, and the milliweber became a practical subunit for dealing with smaller magnitudes of magnetic flux.
Etymology: The term 'milliweber' combines the prefix 'milli-', meaning one thousandth, with 'weber', named after Wilhelm Eduard Weber.
