| magnetic flux n. A measure of the quantity of magnetism, being the total number of magnetic lines of force passing through a specified area in a magnetic field. |
magnetic flux
n
(Physics / General Physics) a measure of the strength of a magnetic field over a given area perpendicular to it, equal to the product of the area and the magnetic flux density through it. Symbol φ
| magnetic flux 1. The lines of force associated with a magnetic field. The strength of magnetic flux is equivalent to its magnetic flux density per unit area. The SI unit of magnetic flux is the weber. 2. See magnetic flux density. |
