1. weber
(a.) A name suggested by Clausius and Siemens to denote a magnet pole of unit strength. This use is abandoned.
(b.) It has been used to designate the unit of quantity--the coulomb. This use is abandoned.
(c.) It has been used to designate the unit of current strength the ampere. This use is abandoned.
[Transcriber's note: Definition (a) is now used. One weber of magnetic flux linked to a circuit of one turn produces an electromotive force of 1 volt if it is reduced to zero at a uniform rate in 1 second.]
