tesla /tes·la/ (T) (tes´lah) the SI unit of magnetic flux density, a vector quantity that measures the magnitude of a magnetic field. It is equal to 1 weber per square meter.
tesla
tes·la (t s l )n. Abbr. T A unit of magnetic field intensity in the International System of Units equal to the magnitude of the magnetic field vector necessary to produce a force of one newton on a charge of one coulomb moving perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field vector with a velocity of one meter per second. |
