I have no excuse for my error in writing W rather than the correct
symbol "Wb" for the SI unit weber.  W is the symbol for watt, of course.

Unfortunately, Bill Hooper quoted my error without correction.

However, my disputes with Bill are on technical details, not a challenge
to Bill's understanding of SI, which is *excellent* in my opinion.

Correct to read Wb/m^2.

Correct to read 1 Wb/m^2 = 1 T
