At a certain location in the northern hemisphere, the earth.s magnetic field has a magnitude of `42 muT` and points downwards at `53^@` to the vertical. Calculate the flux through a horizontal surface of area `2.5 m^2. [sin 53^@ = 0.8]`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`phi_B = BA cos theta`
`= 42 xx 10^(-6) xx 2.5 xx cos 53^@ = 63 mu Wb`
