Pronunciation: 'web-&r, 'vA-b&r
Function: noun
: the practical mks unit of magnetic flux equal to that flux which inlinking a circuit of one turn produces in it an electromotive force of one volt as the flux is reduced to zero at a uniform rate in one second : 108 maxwells
Weáber /'vA-b&r,/ Wilhelm Eduard (1804–1891), German physicist. Weber, who was a professor at Göttingen, Germany, was notable for his researches in magnetism andelectricity. With Carl Friedrich Gauss he investigated terrestrial magnetism. Weber introduced the absolute system of electrical units patterned after Gauss's system of magnetic units.
