A circular coil of 18 turns of radius 5 cm is in a uniform magnetic field of 4000 G in the positive x direction. Find the flux through the coil for the following orientations of the unit vector n that is perpendicular to the plane of the coil.

Explanation / Answer

Flux Phi=A(B.n), Where n is the normal vector to the area or Area vector

A=pi x r^2=(3.14x0.05^2)=0.00785 m^2

B=4000 G=4000x10^-4 T=0.4 T

a) Flux = AB ( Because B = Bi, n=i and i.i=1)

= 0.00785X 0.4

= 0.00314 Wb

b) Flux = 0 ( Because i.j=0)

c) Flux = AB/sqrt(2) (Because B.n= i.i/sqrt(2)=1/sqrt(2) )

           = 0.00314/1.414

          = 0.0022 Wb

d) Flux = 0 ( Again here i.k=0)

e) Flux = AB(0.8) ( here B.n=i.(0.8 i+ 0.6j)=0.8)

            = 0.00314X0.8

            = 0.002512 Wb
