Commonly used terms in the Electrical industry.
electric flux density
basic electromagnetic field quantity used to describe the effects of permeable matter to the electric field; it is expressed in SI units of coulombs per square meter.
flux density
lines of magnetic flux per unit area, measured in tesla; 1T = 1Wb/m

.
magnetic flux density
a vector quantifying a magnetic field, so that a particle carrying unit charge experiences unit force when traveling with unit velocity in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic field characterized by unit magnetic flux density. It has the units of volt-seconds per square meter in the SI system of units.
power flux density
a vector that gives both the magnitude and direction of an electromagnetic field's power flow. The units are watts per square meter.
saturation flux density
the maximum value of intrinsic induction (Bi) beyond which an increase in magnetizing field yields no further improvement, indicating that all magnetic moments in the material have been aligned.
