Tesla vs. Gauss

Teslanoun

In the International System of Units, the derived unit of magnetic flux density or magnetic inductivity. Symbol: T

Teslanoun

a unit of magnetic flux density equal to one weber per square meter

Teslanoun

United States electrical engineer and inventor (born in Croatia but of Serbian descent) who discovered the principles of alternating currents and developed the first alternating-current induction motor and the Tesla coil and several forms of oscillators (1856-1943)

Gaussnoun

The unit of magnetic field strength in CGS systems of units, equal to 0.0001 tesla.

Gaussnoun

The C.G.S. unit of density of magnetic field, equal to a field of one line of force per square centimeter, being thus adopted as an international unit at Paris in 1900; sometimes used as a unit of intensity of magnetic field. It was previously suggested as a unit of magnetomotive force.

Gaussnoun

Karl F. Gauss, a German mathematician.

Gaussnoun

a unit of magnetic flux density equal to 1 maxwell per square centimeter

Gaussnoun

German mathematician who developed the theory of numbers and who applied mathematics to electricity and magnetism and astronomy and geodesy (1777-1855)
