Etymology: Nikola Tesla, American engineer, 1856-1943

a unit of magnetic flux density, defined by the International System of Units as 1 weber per square meter, the equivalent of 1 volt/second per square meter, or 10,000 gauss.

tesla

An MRI term for the preferred unit of magnetic flux density, which corresponds to a field strength of 1 Weber/m2, where 1 Weber represents 1 x 108 (100,000,000) flux lines. 1.0 T = 104 gauss (G).
