C.g.s. unit (symbol Mx) of magnetic flux (the
strength of a magnetic field in an area
multiplied by the area). It is now replaced
by the SI unit, the weber (one maxwell equals
10^-8 weber). The maxwell is a very small
unit, representing a single line of magnetic
flux. It is named after the Scottish
physicist James Clerk Maxwell.
