Tesla

Tesla refers to both a renowned electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer and the unit of measurement for magnetic flux density in the International System of Units (SI).

As a company, Tesla, Inc. was founded in 2003 and has become a leader in the automotive and clean energy sectors, producing electric cars, battery energy storage, solar panels, and solar roof tiles. It is known for popular models like the Tesla Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y, promoting sustainable energy through innovation in electric vehicle technology and renewable energy solutions.

In the realm of physics, the tesla (symbol: T) is a unit that measures the strength of a magnetic field. One tesla is defined as one weber per square meter. It is used to quantify the density of magnetic flux in a given area, indicating how much magnetic field passes through a specified surface area. This unit is named after Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American inventor and engineer known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current electricity supply system.

Thus, “Tesla” can pertain to either the electric vehicle company or the measurement unit in magnetism, depending on the context in which it is used.
