Question

A uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.72 T is directed perpendicular to the plane of a rectangular loop having dimensions 8.2 cm by 14 cm. Find the magnetic flux through the loop.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Magnetic flux is expressed as the product of magnetic field and cross sectional area.

Φ = BAsintheta

Given

B = 0.72T

A = 8.2cm×14cm

A = 0.082m × 0.14m

Area = 0.01148m²

Theta = 90°

Substitute into the formula

Φ = BAsintheta

Φ = 0.72(0.01148)sin90°

Φ = 0.72(0.01148)(1)

Φ = 0.0082656

Hence the magnetic flux through the loop is 8.2656 × 10^-3 Weber
