 Contents
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.

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.
