Tesla (unit) Tesla (unit) The tesla (symbol T) is a derived unit of the magnetic field strength (also, magnetic flux density) in the International System of Units. One tesla is equal to one weber per square metre. The unit was announced during the General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1960 and is named in honour of Nikola Tesla, upon the proposal of the Slovenian electrical engineer France Avčin. The strongest fields encountered from permanent magnets are from Halbach spheres and can be over 4.5 T. The record for the highest sustained pulsed magnetic field has been produced by scientists at the
Force density the fluid at that point. The force density F is defined as the force per unit volume, so that: The force density in an electromagnetic field is given in cgs by: Where p is the charge density, E is the electric field, J is the current density, c is the speed of light, and B is the magnetic field. Force density In fluid mechanics, the force density is the negative gradient of pressure. It has the physical dimensions of force per unit volume. Force density is a vector field representing the flux density of the hydrostatic force within the bulk
