Homework Statement


** What do we mean by saying:
A)) The magnetic flux = 3 webber
The quantity of magnetism, taking into account the strength and the extent of a magnetic field equal 3 webber ?? is that correct?


B)) The magnetic flus density in C point = 2 tesla
the amount of magnetic flux per unit area of a section, perpendicular to the direction of flux equal 2 tesla
OR
the amount of magnetic flux per unit area of a section, perpendicular to the direction of flux equal 2 webber

is it a difficult question ?! :bugeye:
 
What is the unit of magnetic flux? What is the unit of unit area? When you know these then what is the unit of magnetic flux per unit area?
 
What is the unit of magnetic flux?
Weber
what is the unit of unit area?
m2
When you know these then what is the unit of magnetic flux per unit area?
Weber/m2
 
Yep that is all correct. Now you also know that 1 Wb=1 T m^2. This follows from the definition of magnetic flux, magnetic field T times area m^2. Using this result what is the unit of the magnetic flux per unit area?
