A square conducting coil of area 100 cm² is placed normally inside a uniform magnetic field of 10³ Wb m⁻², that is, with its plane perpendicular to the field. The magnetic flux linked with the coil is Wb.

Question

Accepted Answer

(1) 10. Given: A = 100 cm² = 100 × 10⁻⁴ m² = 10⁻² m²; B = 10³ Wb m⁻²; plane of the coil perpendicular to ⃗B. Idea: Φ = BA cos θ, where θ is the angle between ⃗B and the normal to the coil. The plane is perpendicular to the field, so the normal is along the field: θ = 0° and cos θ = 1. Φ = 10³ × 10⁻² = 10 Wb. So the flux linked with the coil is 10 Wb.
