Question

SI unit of Magnetic flux is weber and its CGS unit is maxwell. Then 1 Wb = :

• A. ${10}^6$ maxwell
• B. ${10}^7$ maxwell
• C. ${10}^8$ maxwell
• D. ${10}^9$ maxwell

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

${10}^8$ maxwell

Magnetic flux is the product of magnetic field and area.

As SI unit of magnetic flux is weber, so $1Wb=Tesla\left(T\right)\times m^2$

where $1T={10}^{4}gauss$ and $1m^2={10}^{4}c{m}^2$

(T and gauss is the SI and CGS unit of magnetic field )

So, $1Wb={10}^{4}gauss\times {10}^{4}c{m}^2={10}^8$ maxwell
