Question

A uniform magnetic field passes through a horizontal circular wire loop at an angle 15.1° from the normal to the plane of the loop. The magnitude of the magnetic field is 3.35 T , and the radius of the wire loop is 0.240 m . Find the magnetic flux Φ through the loop.

Answer 1

0.5849Weber

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the magnetic flus is expressed as:

`\phi = BAcos \theta`

Given

The magnitude of the magnetic field B = 3.35T

Area of the loop = πr² = 3.14(0.24)² = 0.180864m²

angle of the wire loop θ = 15.1°

Substitute the given values into the formula:

`\phi = 3.35(0.180864)cos15.1^0\\\phi =0.6058944cos15.1^0\\\phi =0.6058944(0.9655)\\\phi = 0.5849Wb`

Hence the magnetic flux Φ through the loop is 0.5849Weber
