How can we calculate the flux in a coil which carries a current? I am having trouble determining the field at any point inside the coil other than the center? Any help is appreciated...
ashishsinghal said:The direction of magnetic field will be constant (inside or outside the plane of loop). Then we can say that surely the flux is non zero. Right?
Use the Biot-Savart law:ashishsinghal said:How can we calculate field at a point not at the center?? I am
Redbelly98 said:You would evaluate the above integral to get B anywhere within the plane of the loop.
Sure, I can help out with that. Just want you to understand up front:ashishsinghal said:That's what i am not able to do! Please help me do that!
To calculate the flux in a coil with current, you can use the equation Φ = N * B * A * cos(θ), where Φ represents the flux, N is the number of turns in the coil, B is the magnetic field strength, A is the cross-sectional area of the coil, and θ is the angle between the magnetic field and the normal vector of the coil.
The unit of measurement for flux is the weber (Wb), which is equivalent to 1 tesla-meter squared (Tm²).
The direction of the current does not affect the flux in a coil. The flux is dependent on the strength of the magnetic field, the number of turns in the coil, and the cross-sectional area of the coil.
Yes, you can calculate the flux in a coil with multiple currents by adding the individual flux values for each current. This is known as the superposition principle.
Calculating flux in a coil with current is important in understanding the behavior of electromagnetic fields and in designing and analyzing electrical systems, such as motors and generators.
