Best Answer

by scale called the fujita scale or (enhanced fujita scale) to measure intensity or strength of a tornado based on the severity of damage.

What is magnetic field strength measured in?

Gauss


Is the strength of an electromagnet measured in volts?

That's a tricky question. Well, technically it is not measured in volts. The strength of an electromagnet depends on the electrical current which flows through its wires, but not on what drives that current. The current is measured in the amount of charge per unit time that flows through the wires. But when it comes to measuring the magnet, you have to refer to the magnetic field. Without it, there wouldn't be any "magnet." So, logically, to measure the strength of the magnet you must first measure the strength of the magnetic field. It's strength is measured in Volts per meter(V/m). So to measure the strength of the electromagnet you must measure the strength of the magnetic field whose formula is found in the next to last sentence. Hope this helps.


What is a measure of stiffness or strength of a spring?

The strength of a spring is a force and therefore is measured in units such as newtons or pounds. Many cylindrical springs, for example, produce various forces at different lengths making it necessary to indicate the lengths at which the forces have been measured.


How do you measure adhesion strength?

The specific units are up to you, but normally adhesion strength would be measured by the number of kilograms of weight that can be supported by one square centimeter of adhering surface.


Loudness is measured in what?

Decibel (dB) is the unit used to measure the intensity of sound. This unit is also used to measure signal strength and amplification values in some scenarios.
