Magnetic Flux Units
Magnetic flux (Φ) is a measure of the quantity of magnetism, accounting for the strength and the extent of a magnetic field. It is measured through a surface and represents the total magnetic field passing through that surface.
- Weber (Wb): The SI unit of magnetic flux. One weber is the magnetic flux that, linking a circuit of one turn, produces an EMF of one volt when reduced to zero at a uniform rate in one second.
- Maxwell (Mx): The CGS unit of magnetic flux. One maxwell equals 10⁻⁸ webers. Named after James Clerk Maxwell, the Scottish physicist.
Units of Magnetic Flux
Magnetic flux is a fundamental quantity in electromagnetism that describes the amount of magnetic field passing through a given surface. The measurement of magnetic flux is essential in understanding electromagnetic induction, transformers, and electric generators.

Weber (Wb)
The weber is the SI unit of magnetic flux. It is defined as the magnetic flux that, linking a circuit of one turn, produces an electromotive force of one volt when reduced to zero at a uniform rate in one second. One weber equals one volt-second or one tesla-square meter.

Maxwell (Mx)
The maxwell is the CGS unit of magnetic flux. One maxwell equals 10⁻⁸ webers exactly. Although largely superseded by the weber in modern scientific applications, the maxwell is still used in some specialized contexts and older literature.
