A square coil of side length 4 m is placed in the x-y plane and in uniform magnetic field 0.1 T, find total flux through the coil

Correct answer: A. 1.6 Wb

  • A. 1.6 Wb
  • B. 0.16 Wb
  • C. 16 Wb
  • D. 0 Wb

Explanation

Magnetic flux can be calculated using the formula: Φ = B x A Where B refers to the magnetic field stength (0.1T) and A refers to the area through which the field is passing through. Since the coil is a square area would = L2 = 42 = 16m2 Hence 0.1 x 16 = 1.6 Wb

About Electromagnetism

Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
