n. Abbr. Wb

The International System unit of magnetic flux, equal to the flux that produces in a circuit of one turn an electromotive force of one volt, when the flux is uniformly reduced to zero within one second. See Table at measurement.

[After Wilhelm Eduard Weber (1804-1891), German physicist.]

weber [vay-ber]

Noun

the SI unit of magnetic flux (the strength of a magnetic field over a given area) [after W. E. Weber, physicist]

---

weber  (wbr, vbr)

The SI derived unit of magnetic flux. A magnetic flux of one weber, passing through a conducting loop and reduced to zero at a uniform rate in one second, induces an electric potential of one volt in the loop. One weber is equal to one volt per second, or 10⁸ maxwells. The weber is named after German scientist Wilhelm Eduard Weber (1804-1891).
