Magnetic flux is a?
Correct answer: A. Scalar quantity
- A. Scalar quantity
- B. Vector quantity
- C. Sometimes scalar sometimes vector
- D. None of these
Explanation
Magnetic flux ΦB = BAcosOr it is a dot product, so we may say thatΦB = B.AWhere B = vector for magnetic field, and A = vector for area.The answer of a dot product is always a scalar. Hence, A option is correct.

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.
