The strength of s tornado is measured on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which uses the severity of the damage a tornado causes to assign an intensity rating, ranging from EF0 for the weakest tornadoes to EF5 for the strongest.

What instrument is used to measure the magnetic field strength at the center of a magnetizing coil?

A teslameter is the instrument commonly used to measure the magnetic field strength at the center of a magnetizing coil. It is designed to detect and measure the magnetic field in tesla units.


What scale is use to measure the strength of a tornado and how did it gets its name?

The Fujita Scale (replaced by the Enhanced Fujita Scale in 2007) is used to rate the intensity of tornadoes from F0 to F5 based on damage. It gets its name from its creator, Dr. Tetsuya Fujita.


Is it impossible to measure the strength of a tornado?

No, it is possible to measure the strength of a tornado, though direct measurements are rare. Most tornadoes have their strength estimated based on the severity of the damage they cause. Occasionally, though mobile Doppler can obtain wind measurements from a tornado. One tornado on May 24, 2011 was rated EF5 after such a radar indicated winds in excess of 210 mph.


Are twisters stronger or more powerful than tornadoes?

Twisters and tornadoes are different terms used to describe the same weather phenomenon: a rotating column of air in contact with the ground. There is no difference in strength or power between these two terms.


What is the equation for intensity and how is it used to measure the strength of a phenomenon?

The equation for intensity is I P/A, where I is intensity, P is power, and A is area. Intensity is used to measure the strength of a phenomenon by calculating the amount of power per unit area, providing a quantitative measure of how concentrated or powerful the phenomenon is at a specific point.

Are Enhanced Fujita Scale tornadoes more powerful than Fujota Scale tornadoes?

No. The tornadoes are the same strength. The Enhanced Fujita scale is just a more advanced way of analyzing the strength of a tornado.
