Is one functionally safer than the other? [1] [2] 68.174.155.22 ( talk) 12:28, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
I was reading this overview from NASA regarding PEMF:
https://technology.nasa.gov/patent/MSC-TOPS-96. It says waveforms used high rising and falling slew rates on the order of Tesla/sec
. What is a Tesla/sec? I tried reading the
Slew rate article, and it says the slew rate measurement is usually V/us. I also found
Tesla_(unit) and that says One tesla is equal to one weber per square metre
. I don't understand how this related to the slew rate measurement.
I don't have a strong science background. Can someone explain what Tesla/sec means in this context?

or any other electrical quantityin the first sentence. Tesla is the unit of magnetic flux density (something like the magnetic field strength), and the slew rate in the case of PEMF would be the rate of change of the magnetic field, so roughly one Tesla per second. -- Wrongfilter ( talk) 20:00, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
