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.
Weber (Wb)
Definition: The weber (symbol: Wb) is the SI derived unit of magnetic flux. A flux density of one tesla through an area of one square meter is equal to one weber.
History/origin: Named after the German physicist Wilhelm Eduard Weber (1804–1891), who was a pioneer in the study of magnetism and electricity.
Current use: The weber is the standard unit in physics and engineering to measure the total magnetic field passing through a given area.

How to Convert Milliweber (mWb) to Weber (Wb)
1 mwb = 0.001 wb
1 wb = 1000 mwb
Example: convert 15 mwb to wb:
15 mwb = 15 × 0.001 wb = 0.015 wb
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.
- Did you know? One Weber (Wb) is a very large amount of magnetic flux. It is defined as the amount of flux that, when passing through a single loop of wire, produces one volt of electricity in one second!
