AI overview
Tesla is the standard unit of measurement used to describe the strength of a magnetic field. It matters because scientists and engineers need a common way to quantify and communicate about magnetic forces in research, technology, and applications like electric motors and medical imaging devices.

The tesla (symbol: T) is the unit of magnetic flux density (also called magnetic B-field) in the International System of Units (SI) .
One tesla is equal to one weber per square metre. The unit was announced during the General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1960 and is named in honour of Serbian-American electrical and mechanical engineer Nikola Tesla, upon the proposal of the Slovenian electrical engineer France Avčin.
