Magnetic flux through a flat loop in a uniform field B is
- Φ_B = B · A cos θ, where θ is the angle between B and the area normal
- Φ_B = B · A sin θ
- Φ_B = B + A
- Φ_B = B / A
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: A. Φ_B = B · A cos θ, where θ is the angle between B and the area normal
We have Φ_B = B · A.
So Φ_B = BA cos θ.
Maximum when normal is parallel to B (θ = 0), zero when perpendicular (θ = π/2).
