Definition
  1. Noun:
    • A unit of magnetic flux density: The tesla is the standard SI (International System of Units) unit for measuring the strength of a magnetic field. It is defined as one weber of magnetic flux per square meter.
    • Nikola Tesla: A Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, and futurist. He is renowned for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.
Examples of Usage
  • As a unit of measurement:
    • A typical refrigerator magnet has a strength of about 0.001 tesla.
    • The MRI machine uses a powerful magnet with a field strength of 1.5 or 3 tesla.
  • As a proper noun (person):
    • Tesla's work on alternating current was crucial for the development of modern electrical power systems.
    • The electric car company is named after the inventor Nikola Tesla.
Advanced Usage
  • The unit is often abbreviated as T (e.g., 2 T, 10 mT for millitesla).
  • In scientific contexts, it is used to quantify extremely weak fields (like the Earth's magnetic field, ~50 microteslas) and extremely strong fields (like those in experimental physics labs, which can be many teslas).
Variants and Related Words
  • Tesla coil (noun): A type of resonant transformer circuit invented by Nikola Tesla, used to produce high-voltage, low-current, high-frequency alternating-current electricity, often seen creating dramatic electrical arcs.
  • Microtesla (µT) (noun): One-millionth of a tesla.
  • Millitesla (mT) (noun): One-thousandth of a tesla.
  • Kilotesla (kT) (noun): One thousand teslas (used for exceptionally strong fields).
Synonyms
  • For the unit: There is no direct synonym for the SI unit "tesla." In the older CGS system, the equivalent unit is the gauss (1 tesla = 10,000 gauss).
  • For the person: Inventor, engineer, visionary.
Related Phrases
  • Tesla turbine: A bladeless centripetal flow turbine patented by Nikola Tesla.
  • Tesla valve: A fixed-geometry passive check valve invented by Tesla, which allows fluid to flow preferentially in one direction without moving parts.
Noun
  1. United States electrical engineer and inventor (born in Croatia but of Serbian descent) who discovered the principles of alternating currents and developed the first alternating-current induction motor and the Tesla coil and several forms of oscillators (1856-1943)
  2. a unit of magnetic flux density equal to one weber per square meter
