teslas

Flux density measures

Teslas are units of magnetic flux density in the International System of Units, named after inventor Nikola Tesla.

One tesla equals one weber per square meter.

The Earth's magnetic field measures around 50 microteslas; an MRI machine generates 1.5 to 3 teslas.

In casual speech, teslas usually means Tesla vehicles: There are more Teslas in California than pickup trucks.
