Is 1 weber per square meter (Wb/m²) equal to 1 tesla (T)?
Yes. By definition, the tesla is the SI unit of magnetic flux density and equals one weber of magnetic flux per square meter: $1\,\text{T} = 1\,\text{Wb}/\text{m}^2$.
What this question is checking
You are comparing two different-looking units for the same physical quantity, magnetic flux density $B$.
Using the SI definitions
- Magnetic flux $\Phi$ is measured in webers (Wb).
- Magnetic flux density $B$ is flux per unit area:
$$B = \frac{\Phi}{A}$$
So the unit of $B$ is:
$$[B] = \frac{\text{Wb}}{\text{m}^2}$$
Converting to tesla
The SI unit name for $\text{Wb}/\text{m}^2$ is the tesla (T). Therefore,
$$1\,\text{T} = 1\,\frac{\text{Wb}}{\text{m}^2}$$
Quick consistency check with base units (optional)
Since $1\,\text{Wb} = 1\,\text{V}\cdot\text{s}$ and $1\,\text{T} = 1\,\text{N}/(\text{A}\cdot\text{m})$, these are consistent within SI, but the key identity you need is the definition $\text{T} = \text{Wb}/\text{m}^2$.
