Correct answer: B. Vector area
- A. Area
- B. Vector area
- C. Unit area
- D. None of these
Explanation
Magnetic flux is the amount of magnetic field passing through a given area. It is found as the dot product of magnetic field B with area A . (The direction of an area vector is normal , or perpendicular, to the surface of the area).

About Magnetic Flux
Magnetic flux measures the magnetic field passing through a surface, calculated for a uniform field as Φ = BA cos θ, where θ is the angle between the field and the surface normal. Questions involve area, field strength and orientation, the weber as its unit, and the distinction between flux and magnetic field.
