/ ˈveɪbə /

noun

1. the derived SI unit of magnetic flux; the flux that, when linking a circuit of one turn, produces in it an emf of 1 volt as it is reduced to zero at a uniform rate in one second. 1 weber is equivalent to 10 ⁸maxwells Wb

weber

¹

/ wĕb′ər,vā′bər /

1. The SI derived unit of magnetic flux. A magnetic flux of one weber, passing through a conducting loop and reduced to zero at a uniform rate in one second, induces an electric potential of one volt in the loop. One weber is equal to one volt per second, or 10 ⁸ maxwells. The weber is named after German scientist Wilhelm Eduard Weber (1804–1891).

Weber

/ vā′bər /

1. German physiologist who is noted for his study of sensory response, particularly in the ear and the skin. He also demonstrated that the digestive juices are the specific products of glands.
