From the Lorentz equation, it may be seen that the unit of magnetic field is Newton-second/coulomb-meter, which is known as a Tesla (T). (The unit is occasionally written as Weber/m as the unit of magnetic flux is known as Weber). However, Tesla is a very large unit and it is common to measure in terms of a smaller unit called Gauss,

It may be noted that is also referred to as magnetic field of induction or simply as the induction field. However, we will use the term ``magnetic field".
