Unit Explanations
WeberWb
Source UnitThe weber (symbol: Wb) is the SI unit of magnetic flux, defined as the amount of magnetic field passing through a surface. One weber is equivalent to one volt-second, which is the magnetic flux that, when linked with a circuit, induces an electromotive force of one volt as it changes at a rate of one weber per second. This unit is crucial for understanding electromagnetic systems and their interactions with electric circuits.
Current Use
The weber is extensively used in electrical engineering and physics, particularly in the analysis of magnetic circuits and the design of electrical machines. It provides a clear quantification of magnetic flux in various applications, including transformers, inductors, and magnetic sensors.
Fun Fact
The weber is used to measure not only magnetic flux but also magnetic fields in various scientific experiments.
Unit PoleP
Target UnitThe unit pole, denoted as 'P', is a measure of the strength of a magnetic pole in the context of magnetic field theory. It is defined as the strength of a magnetic pole that, if placed in a vacuum, would produce a magnetic field of 1 weber per meter at a distance of 1 meter. The concept of the unit pole is crucial in understanding the behavior of magnetic fields and the forces between magnetic poles. It is part of the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system and has practical applications in electromagnetism and magnetic field analysis.
Current Use
The unit pole is used primarily in scientific research and engineering, especially in fields related to electromagnetism, magnetic materials, and magnetic field analysis. It provides a basis for measuring magnetic forces and interactions in various applications, including electrical engineering, materials science, and geophysics. The unit is not widely used in everyday contexts but is crucial for theoretical calculations and simulations related to magnetic systems.
Fun Fact
The concept of magnetic poles was first documented in ancient Greece, where natural magnets were discovered.

magnetic • SI Unit
Definition
The weber (symbol: Wb) is the SI unit of magnetic flux, defined as the amount of magnetic field passing through a surface. One weber is equivalent to one volt-second, which is the magnetic flux that, when linked with a circuit, induces an electromotive force of one volt as it changes at a rate of one weber per second. This unit is crucial for understanding electromagnetic systems and their interactions with electric circuits.
History & Origin
The weber was named after the German physicist Wilhelm Eduard Weber, who made significant contributions to the field of electromagnetism during the 19th century. The unit was established in the context of the International System of Units (SI), which standardizes measurements across various scientific disciplines.
Etymology: The term 'weber' comes from Wilhelm Eduard Weber's last name, honoring his work in physics, particularly in magnetism and electricity.

Unit Pole
magnetic • Non-SI
Definition
The unit pole, denoted as 'P', is a measure of the strength of a magnetic pole in the context of magnetic field theory. It is defined as the strength of a magnetic pole that, if placed in a vacuum, would produce a magnetic field of 1 weber per meter at a distance of 1 meter. The concept of the unit pole is crucial in understanding the behavior of magnetic fields and the forces between magnetic poles. It is part of the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system and has practical applications in electromagnetism and magnetic field analysis.
History & Origin
The concept of magnetic poles dates back to ancient civilizations, where lodestones were observed to attract iron. The formal definition of magnetic poles as we understand it today emerged in the 19th century with advances in electromagnetism, largely attributed to the work of scientists like André-Marie Ampère and Michael Faraday. The unit pole itself became standardized as part of the CGS system, providing a consistent framework for measuring magnetic phenomena.
Etymology: The term 'pole' comes from the Old English 'pōl', which means 'a stake or a post', and it is related to the Latin 'polus', meaning 'end of an axis', reflecting the idea of the north and south poles of a magnet.
Current Use
The unit pole is used primarily in scientific research and engineering, especially in fields related to electromagnetism, magnetic materials, and magnetic field analysis. It provides a basis for measuring magnetic forces and interactions in various applications, including electrical engineering, materials science, and geophysics. The unit is not widely used in everyday contexts but is crucial for theoretical calculations and simulations related to magnetic systems.
💡 Fun Facts
- •The concept of magnetic poles was first documented in ancient Greece, where natural magnets were discovered.
- •Magnetic poles can be thought of as the sources of magnetic fields, similar to how electric charges generate electric fields.
- •The Earth itself acts like a giant magnet with its magnetic poles, affecting compasses and navigation.
