1. A unit of magnetic field intensity in the International System of Units equal to the magnitude of the magnetic field vector necessary to produce a force of one newton on a charge of one coulomb moving perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field vector with a velocity of one meter per second.

1. The SI derived unit of magnetic flux density, equal to the magnitude of the magnetic field vector necessary to produce a force of one newton on a charge of one coulomb moving perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field vector with a velocity of one meter per second. It is equivalent to one weber per square meter.

1. Serbian-born American electrical engineer and physicist who in 1881 discovered the principles of alternating current. He went on to invent numerous devices and procedures that were essential to the harnessing of electricity and the development of radio.
