PHY 102 Last Minute Prep Objective Question

Question

The plane of a conducting loop is parallel to x-y plane. B-field is in z-direction. Which action will NOT change magnetic flux?
Options
A Decrease area
B Increase B
C Rotate about z-axis
Correct Answer
D Rotate about y-axis
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Rotation about the z-axis keeps the loop parallel to the x-y plane, so the angle between the normal and B remains 0°, flux is unchanged.

Hint

What rotation keeps the flux constant?
