Question

Problem 76GP

You hold a circular loop of wire at the equator. Consider the magnetic flux through this loop due to the Earth's magnetic field. Is the flux when the normal to the loop points north greater than, less than, or equal to the flux when the normal points vertically upward? Explain.

Solution

Step 1 of 2

The equation for the magnetic flux through a cross section is,

Where,  - magnitude of the magnetic field

              - area of cross section of the surface

              - angle between the magnetic field vector and the area vector
