Magnetic Flux

Magnetic flux is a measure of the amount of magnetic field passing through a given area. Imagine a magnetic field as invisible lines around a magnet; the flux quantifies how many of these lines penetrate a specific surface. It depends on the strength of the magnetic field and the size and orientation of the area. If the magnetic field is stronger or the area is larger and properly aligned, the flux increases. Magnetic flux is measured in units called weber (Wb) and helps us understand how magnetic fields interact with objects, such as inducing electrical currents in conductors.
