Q10

One maxwell is equal to

A.
10-8 webers
Answer
B.
10-4 webers
C.
108 webers
D.
104 webers

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Explanation:
Maxwell is a unit of magnetic flux in the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system of units.

1 maxwell is equivalent to 10-8 webers in the SI (International System of Units).

Reason:
The relation between the CGS and SI units of magnetic flux is established as:
1 weber = 108 maxwells
Hence, 1 maxwell = 10-8 webers.
