Unit is weak and practically paramilitary preposterously (5)

I believe the answer is:

weber

(Other definitions for weber that I've seen before include "Composer; physicist" , "Unit of magnetic flux, composer" , "German musician" , "German composer of Der Freischutz" , "Carl Maria von ---, composer; Max ---, sociologist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
