The tesla (symbol T) is the SI derived unit of magnetic flux density (or magnetic inductivity ). At the Conférence Générale des Poids et Mesures (CGPM) in Paris in 1960, the unit was named in honor of the Serbian- American inventor and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla who made several important contributions to the field of electromagnetism. - 1 T = 1 V ˇ s ˇ m -2 = 1 kg ˇ s -2 ˇ AIn physics, the ampere (symbol: A often informally abbreviated to amp is the SI base unit used to measure electrical currents. The present definition, adopted by the 9th CGPM in 1948 is: "one ampere is that constant current which, if maintained in two str -1 = 1 NThis article is about the SI unit of force. For other uses see Newton (disambiguation In physics, the newton (symbol: N) is the SI unit of force, named after Sir Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics. It was adopted by the General ˇ A -1 m -1 = 1 Wb ˇ m -2
1 Examples
- In outer spaceFor other meanings of the term space see space. Outer space (also called just space , as a name for a region, refers to the relatively empty parts of the Universe, outside the atmospheres of celestial bodies. The term outer space is used to distinguish it the magnetic flux density is between 10-10 T and 10-8 T,
- in the EarthEarth also known as the Earth or Terra is the planet on which we live, the third planet outward from the Sun. It is the largest of the solar system's terrestrial planets, and the only planetary body that modern science confirms as harbouring life. The pla's magnetic fieldIn physics, a magnetic field is an entity produced by moving electric charges ( electric currents) that exerts a force on other moving charges. The quantum-mechanical spin of a particle produces magnetic fields and is acted on by them as though it were a at latitudeLatitude denoted φ, gives the location of a place on Earth north or south of the Equator. Latitude is an angular measurement ranging from 0° at the Equator to 90° at the poles. Usually, the difference in latitude largely affects the climate and/or wea of 50° is 2 ˇ 10-5 T and on the equatorIn geography, the equator is an imaginary line drawn around a planet, halfway between the poles, where the surface of the roughly spherical planet is parallel to the axis of rotation. The equator divides the surface into the Northern Hemisphere and the So at a latitude of 0° is 3.1 ˇ 10-5 T,
- in the magnetic field of a huge horseshoe magnet 0,001 T,
- in medical magnetic resonance imaging up to 4 T,
- in a sunspot 10 T,
- strongest continuous magnetic field yet produced in a laboratory ( Florida State University's National High Magnetic Field Laboratory [1] in Tallahassee, USA), 45 T [2],
- strongest (pulsed) magnetic field yet obtained non-destructively in a laboratory (Koichi Kindo at Osaka University [3]), 80 T,
- strongest (pulsed) magnetic field ever obtained (with explosives) in a laboratory ( Sarov, Russia), 2800 T,
- on a neutron star 106 T to 108 T,
- on a magnetar, 108 to 1011 T,
- maximum theoretical field strength for a neutron star, and therefore for any known phenomenon, 1013 T.
Geophysics uses a unit of 1 γ = 10 -9 T.
The CGS unit is the gauss = 10-4 T.
