Flux linkage is a property of a coil of conducting wire and the magnetic field through which it passes. It is determined by the number of turns of said coil and the flux of the magnetic field.

Faraday stated that the magnitude of the emf generated is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux.

The flux linkage (measured in weber-turns) is used in mutual inductance as a measure of the linkage of an inductor to another. It is the product of magnetic flux (φ), and the number of turns linked by that flux. It is usually denoted as λ or a capital phi from the Greek alphabet (Φ).
