Magnetic Flux Through an Area – Practice
Questions:
1) A coil with dimensions of 5cm × 8cm is placed in a magnetic field with a strength of 0.05T. Calculate the magnetic flux if:
a) The coil is perpendicular to the field:
b) The normal to the coil is at 15° to the field:
2) The following coil has a radius of 2cm and the magnetic field has a strength of 0.8 T. Calculate the magnetic flux through the coil:
3) What angle would need to be between a magnetic field and a coil if the magnetic flux is to be half the maximum value for the same coil and field?
