What does TESLA mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
The SI derived unit of magnetic flux density, equal to one weber per square metre.
A tesla measures how strong a magnetic field is at a given point, and one tesla is already a very large field compared with what people meet in daily life; the field near a small fridge magnet is only a few thousandths of a tesla. Physicists and engineers use the tesla to rate equipment such as magnetic resonance imaging scanners, which typically run at one and a half to three tesla, and the powerful magnets used in particle accelerators, which can reach several tesla. The unit takes its name from the electrical engineer Nikola Tesla, following the usual practice of naming SI units after scientists who advanced the field, in the same way as the newton and the watt. Smaller fields are usually reported not in tesla but in the older unit gauss, with one tesla equal to ten thousand gauss.
