The weber is the SI derived unit of magnetic flux, expressing the total magnetic field effect through a surface.
Named after German physicist Wilhelm Eduard Weber for his work in electromagnetism; it is the base SI unit for transformer and induction calculations.
Measurement system: International System of Units (SI). SI equivalent: 1 Wb = 1 V·s (volt-second).
