Magnetic flux is maximum when the angle, between the area vector and the magnetic field lines, is?

Correct answer: A.

  • A.
  • B. 90°
  • C. 120°
  • D. All of these

Explanation

Magnetic Flux refers to the number of magnetic field lines, passing through a particular area. The formula, to calculate magnetic flux, is; BA cos(theta), where 'B' is the magnetic flux density, 'A' is the area, and 'theta' is the angle between the two vectors. When theta is zero, which implies that the two quantities are parallel to each other, magnetic flux would be 'BA', which is the maximum amount.

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.
