The magnetic flux will be maximum, for an angle of:
Correct answer: A. 0o
- A. 0o
- B. 90o
- C. 60o
- D. 180o
Explanation
The magnetic flux through a coil or loop of wire placed in a magnetic field depends on the angle between the magnetic field lines and the plane of the coil. The magnetic flux is given by the product of the magnetic field (B) and the area (A) of the coil perpendicular to the magnetic field.The maximum magnetic flux occurs when the angle between the magnetic field lines and the plane of the coil is 0 degrees. In this case, the coil is aligned parallel to the magnetic field, and the magnetic flux passing through the coil is at its highest value.Therefore, the correct option is a) 0 degrees.

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.
