Tesla (unit)

The tesla (T) is a unit that measures magnetic flux density or magnetic field strength. Named after inventor Nikola Tesla, it quantifies how strong a magnetic field is in a given area. One tesla represents a magnetic field powerful enough to exert a force on electric charges or magnetic materials. For example, Earth's magnetic field is about beperk 50 microteslas, while MRI machines use fields around 1.5 to 3 teslas to produce detailed images. In essence, the tesla helps describe the intensity of magnetic fields in various scientific and practical applications.
