PHY 102 Electromagnetic Induction Objective Question

Question

If a loop of area 50 cm² is placed parallel to a 0.5-T magnetic field (so the normal is perpendicular to B), what is the flux?
Options
A 0.025 Wb
B 0.0025 Wb
C 0 Wb
Correct Answer
D 0.25 Wb
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

When the loop is parallel to the field, the angle between the normal and B is 90°, cos 90° = 0, so Φ = 0 Wb. No flux penetrates the loop.

Hint

Parallel to field = zero flux.
