magnetic flux
Coil's induced quantity
Magnetic flux is a measure of the total magnetic field passing through a given area.
Think of it as counting how many magnetic field lines penetrate a surface.
The concept is central to electromagnetism—Faraday's law describes how changing magnetic flux induces electric current, the principle behind generators and transformers.
Measured in webers.
