(N) The SI unit of force. Definition: 1 newton will accelerate a mass of 1 kilogram at the rate of 1 meter per second. The relationship between force (F), mass (m), and acceleration (a) is expressed by the formula: F = ma. The newton is named for Isaac Newton (1642-1727), the British mathematician, physicist, and natural philosopher. •
(A or amp) The SI base unit of electric current. Definition: Two parallel conductors, infinitely long and having negligible cross section should be placed 1 meter apart in a perfect vacuum. One ampere is the current that creates between them a force of 0.2 µN (micronewton) per meter of length. One ampere represents a current flow of 1 coulomb of charge per second. One ampere of current results from a potential distribution of 1 volt per ohm of resistance, or from a power production rate of 1 watt per volt of potential. The unit is known informally as the amp, but A is its official symbol and is named for the French physicist André-Marie Ampère. See also System International. •
Magnetic permeability is the degree of magnetization of a material that responds linearly to an applied magnetic field. The SI units of permeability are henry per meter (H/m) or newton per square ampere (N/A2).

(T) The system international (SI) unit of magnetic flux density. Definition: 1 T is the field intensity generating 1 N (newton) of force per ampere of current per meter of conductor. The tesla unit value is defined as a field strength of 1 weber per square meter of area, where 1 weber represents 1 x 108 (100 000 000) flux lines. One T is equal to 10 000 gauss, the older (CGS) unit. A field of 1 tesla is quite strong, the Earth's magnetic flux density, at its surface, is about 50 microteslas (µT).
