The S.I unit of magnetic flux is________

The correct answer is
Weber

Magnetic Flux S.I. Unit

Magnetic flux represents the measure of the total magnetic field that passes through a given area. Understanding its S.I. unit is fundamental in electromagnetism.

Identifying the Magnetic Flux S.I. Unit

The standard international (S.I.) unit for measuring magnetic flux is the Weber. It is often denoted by the symbol Wb.

Comparing Other Units

The options provided represent units for different physical quantities:

  • Henry (H): This is the S.I. unit of electrical inductance.
  • Coulomb (C): This is the S.I. unit of electric charge.
  • Tesla (T): This is the S.I. unit of magnetic flux density, also known as magnetic field strength. It is related to magnetic flux but is not the unit for flux itself.

Therefore, the correct S.I. unit for magnetic flux is Weber.
