A rectangular loop of area 0.02 m² lies in a field B = 0.5 T with its normal at 30° to B. The magnetic flux through the loop is:

Answer: 0.00866 Wb.

  • A 0.00866 Wb
  • B 0.01732 Wb
  • C 0.02000 Wb
  • D 0.00500 Wb

Correct answer: A. 0.00866 Wb

Explanation: Φ = B·A·cosθ = 0.5 × 0.02 × cos30° = 0.5 × 0.02 × 0.866 ≈ 0.00866 Wb.

EMF is Induced Only While Flux is ChangingΦmagnet approachingmagnet stationary inside coilEMFEMF ≠ 0 (flux changing)EMF = 0 (flux constant)t

As a magnet approaches a coil, flux rises steadily and a constant non-zero EMF is induced (Faraday's law). Once the magnet stops moving, flux stays constant and the induced EMF drops to zero - EMF only exists while flux is actively changing.

Concept context

Faraday's and Lenz's laws, motional EMF, self/mutual inductance, eddy currents, and the AC generator - how a changing magnetic flux creates an electric current.
