The correct Answer is:
To calculate the magnetic flux through a circular loop placed in a magnetic field, we can use the formula for magnetic flux (Φ): \[ \Phi = B \cdot A \cdot \cos(\theta) \] Where: - \( \Phi \) is the magnetic flux, - \( B \) is the magnetic field strength, - \( A \) is the area of the loop, - \( \theta \) is the angle between the magnetic field and the normal (perpendicular) to the surface of the loop. ### Step 1: Identify the parameters - The radius of the circular loop \( r = 10 \, \text{cm} = 0.1 \, \text{m} \) (convert cm to m). - The magnetic field strength \( B = 0.5 \, \text{T} \). - The angle \( \theta \) between the magnetic field and the area vector of the loop is \( 90^\circ \) since the plane of the loop is parallel to the magnetic field. ### Step 2: Calculate the area of the loop The area \( A \) of a circular loop is given by the formula: \[ A = \pi r^2 \] Substituting the radius: \[ A = \pi (0.1)^2 = \pi (0.01) \approx 0.0314 \, \text{m}^2 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the magnetic flux Now, substituting the values into the magnetic flux formula: \[ \Phi = B \cdot A \cdot \cos(\theta) \] Since \( \theta = 90^\circ \): \[ \cos(90^\circ) = 0 \] Thus, \[ \Phi = 0.5 \cdot 0.0314 \cdot 0 = 0 \] ### Conclusion The magnetic flux through the coil is: \[ \Phi = 0 \, \text{Wb} \, (\text{Weber}) \]
