Magnetic field 'magnetic field' is used to describe as well as or in place of . There are many alternative names for both (see sidebar). In SI units, is measured in teslas (symbol: T) and correspondingly (magnetic flux) is measured in webers (symbol: Wb) so that a flux density of 1 Wb/m is 1 tesla. The SI unit of tesla is equivalent to (newton·second)/(coulomb·metre). In Gaussian-cgs units, is measured in gauss (symbol: G). (The conversion is 1 T = 10000 G.) One nanotesla is equivalent to 1 gamma (symbol: γ). The -field is measured in amperes per metre (A/m) in SI units,
Heat flux example Monte Carlo integration. Heat flux Heat flux or thermal flux, sometimes also referred to as "heat flux density" or "heat flow rate intensity" is a flow of energy per unit of area per unit of time. In SI its units are watts per square metre (W⋅m). It has both a direction and a magnitude, and so it is a vector quantity. To define the heat flux at a certain point in space, one takes the limiting case where the size of the surface becomes infinitesimally small. Heat flux is often denoted formula_1, the subscript q specifying "heat" flux, as
