The dimensional formula of magnetic flux is ________.

Asked in GUJCET 2014 · Units and dimensions of flux

Answer: (2) M¹L²T⁻²A⁻¹

Step-by-step solution

Given: magnetic flux Φ_B.

Idea: Φ_B=BA, and by Faraday's law ε=-(dΦ_B)/(dt), so the flux is (emf) × (time).

[ε]=[V]=M¹L²T⁻³A⁻¹.

So [Φ_B]=M¹L²T⁻³A⁻¹×T¹=M¹L²T⁻²A⁻¹.

Check with Φ_B=BA: [B]=M¹L⁰T⁻²A⁻¹ and [A]=L² give the same thing.

So magnetic flux has the dimensions M¹L²T⁻²A⁻¹ -- in SI the weber, V s.
