Weber (unit)
The weber (also: the volt second) is the unit of measurement of magnetic flux in the International System of Units (SI). It was named after Wilhelm Eduard Weber.
In the obsolete Gaussian CGS system, the Maxwell (Mx) is the unit of magnetic flux.
However, because of the different size systems, the difference between the two units is not simply a factor (hence the ≙ sign).
