Magnetic Flux

---

Magnetic flux is the number of magnetic field lines passing through a closed surface such as a conducting coil. The SI unit of magnetic flux is the weber (Wb). The CGS unit is the maxwell.

For example, it is used by electrical engineers trying to design systems with electromagnets or designing dynamos. Physicists designing particle accelerators also calculate it. Magnetic flux (most often denoted as Φm), is the number of magnetic field lines (also called "magnetic flux density") passing through a closed surface (such as a conducting coil).
