Magnetic Flux Converter
Milliweber (mWb)
Definition: A milliweber (symbol: mWb) is a submultiple of the weber, equal to one-thousandth (1/1,000) of a weber.
History/origin: As electromagnetism became a standard part of industrial design, the milliweber became a practical unit for describing the flux in mid-sized electrical transformers.
Current use: It is frequently used in electrical engineering specifications and for rating the strength of permanent magnets in consumer goods.
Microweber (µWb)
Definition: A microweber (symbol: µWb) is a unit of magnetic flux equal to one-millionth (1/1,000,000) of a weber.
History/origin: Derived using the standard SI prefix "micro-," this unit became important with the rise of sensitive electronic storage media like hard drives and magnetic tapes.
Current use: Used in nanotechnology, microelectronics, and advanced medical imaging research.

How to Convert Milliweber (mWb) to Microweber (µWb)
1 mwb = 1000 uwb
1 uwb = 0.001 mwb
Example: convert 15 mwb to uwb:
15 mwb = 15 × 1000 uwb = 15000 uwb
Did You Know?
- Milliwebers are commonly used in the design of small motors and electronic sensors where the magnetic fields are precise but not massive.
- Micro-webers (µWb) are often used in scientific research involving magnetic materials and sensitive laboratory measurements.
