SI unit of magnetic flux density (5)

I believe the answer is:

tesla

(Other definitions for tesla that I've seen before include "SI unit; steal (anag.)" , "Unit of magnetic flux density" , "Nikola ---, electricity pioneer" , "Inventor" , "Inventive sort" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Mirror and The Sunday Times.
