What is magnetic flux?

Magnetic flux is the total amount of magnetic field passing through a surface: field strength times area. The SI unit is the weber (Wb), one tesla times one square meter, named after Wilhelm Weber. A changing flux induces a voltage, which is how generators and transformers work: one weber per second induces one volt.

In the older CGS system flux is measured in maxwells, also called "lines" of flux; one weber is 100 million maxwells.
