Tesla is the unit for measuring:

Correct answer: C. Magnetic induction

  • A. Magnetic intensity
  • B. Magnetic moment
  • C. Magnetic induction
  • D. None of the above

Explanation

The tesla (T) is the SI unit of magnetic flux density, also called magnetic induction, B. It is equivalent to one weber per square metre, 1 T = 1 Wb/m². Students may choose magnetic intensity because both quantities describe magnetic fields, but magnetic intensity H is measured in amperes per metre (A/m).

About Magnetic Flux Density

Magnetic flux density measures the magnetic force acting on a current carrying conductor or moving charge in a magnetic field. Work includes the relations B equals F divided by IL and F equals qvB, the tesla as its SI unit, field direction and the distinction between flux density and magnetic flux.
