Question

What is the value of the magnetic flux at coil 2 in figure due to coil 1?

Short answer

The value of the magnetic flux at coil 2 is zero.

Step-by-step solution

Definition of Magnetic flux

Step 2: Calculate flux angle

Calculate flux angle

The numerical value of the flux created by a contour with area A in a constant magnetic field B, which makes an angle\(\phi \)with the perpendicular to the contour's plane can be expressed as,

\(\Phi {\rm{ = BAcos(}}\phi {\rm{)}}\)………………..(1)

The angle is right-angled in this example; hence the flux will be zero from equation (1) because the cosine of a right angle (i.e.,\({\rm{90}}^\circ \)) is zero.

Therefore, the value of flux at coil 2 is zero.
