Magnetic flux due to the current carrying conductor is determined by:

Correct answer: B. Ampere's law

  • A. Faraday's law
  • B. Ampere's law
  • C. Flemming's law
  • D. Gauss's law

Explanation

Ampere's law relates the magnetic field around a closed loop to the electric current passing through the loop. It states that the magnetic field (B) around a closed loop is directly proportional to the electric current (I) passing through the loop.While Ampere's law is fundamental in understanding the magnetic field produced by electric currents, it is not directly used to determine the magnetic flux due to a current-carrying conductor.

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.
