Abstract from DBPedia
    In physics, specifically electromagnetism, the magnetic flux through a surface is the surface integral of the normal component of the magnetic field B over that surface. It is usually denoted Φ or ΦB. The SI unit of magnetic flux is the weber (Wb; in derived units, volt–seconds), and the CGS unit is the maxwell. Magnetic flux is usually measured with a fluxmeter, which contains measuring coils and electronics, that evaluates the change of voltage in the measuring coils to calculate the measurement of magnetic flux.

    磁束(じそく、英語:magnetic flux、磁気誘導束とも言う)とは、その場における磁界の強さと方向を、1(Wb)を1本とした線の束で表したものである。
