LaTeX How to draw box for my math equation in latex

[snshusat161]

I want to enclose my final equation inside a box but i find no way to do that in latex. please help me out as soon as possible.

Thanks!

Use "\boxed{}"

Not working

My latex code is

\begin{flalign*}
E_1 & = \frac{e_{1max}}{\sqrt{2}}\\
& = \frac{N_1.{\phi}_m.w}{\sqrt{2}}\\
& = \frac{N_1{\phi}_m.2\pi.f}{\sqrt{2}}\\
\\
E_1 & = 4.44 N_1.{\phi}_m.f\\
\\
E_1 & = 4.44 N_1.B_m.A.f
\end{flalign*}

and after using \boxed in

E_1 & = 4.44 N_1.B_m.A.f

I get the following error:

To use the \boxed{} command, I think you need to load amsmath package.

To use the \boxed{} command, I think you need to load amsmath package.

snshusat161 is doing just that. Look at the LaTeX output:

For additional information on amsmath, use the `?' option.

Not working

and after using \boxed in E_1 & = 4.44 N_1.B_m.A.f

I get the following error:[error output elided]

Well of course it's not working. You can't box around the separator character "&". That doesn't make sense.

What you can do is to put a box around the right hand side of your final equation:

\begin{align*}
E_1 & = \frac{e_{1max}}{\sqrt{2}}\\
& = \frac{N_1.{\phi}_m.w}{\sqrt{2}}\\
& = \frac{N_1{\phi}_m.2\pi.f}{\sqrt{2}}\\
\\
E_1 & = 4.44 N_1.{\phi}_m.f \\
\\
E_1 &= \boxed{4.44 N_1.B_m.A.f}
\end{align*}

\begin{align}<br /> E_1 &amp; = \frac{e_{1max}}{\sqrt{2}}\\<br /> &amp; = \frac{N_1.{\phi}_m.w}{\sqrt{2}}\\<br /> &amp; = \frac{N_1{\phi}_m.2\pi.f}{\sqrt{2}}\\<br /> \\<br /> E_1 &amp; = 4.44 N_1.{\phi}_m.f \\<br /> \\<br /> E_1 &amp;= \boxed{4.44 N_1.B_m.A.f}<br /> \end{align}You can box the entire final equation as well, but you'll have to make your final equation standalone:

\begin{align*}
E_1 & = \frac{e_{1max}}{\sqrt{2}}\\
& = \frac{N_1.{\phi}_m.w}{\sqrt{2}}\\
& = \frac{N_1{\phi}_m.2\pi.f}{\sqrt{2}}\\
\\
E_1 & = 4.44 N_1.{\phi}_m.f
\end{align*}
\begin{equation*}
\boxed{E_1 = 4.44 N_1.B_m.A.f}
\end{equation*}

\begin{align}<br /> E_1 &amp; = \frac{e_{1max}}{\sqrt{2}}\\<br /> &amp; = \frac{N_1.{\phi}_m.w}{\sqrt{2}}\\<br /> &amp; = \frac{N_1{\phi}_m.2\pi.f}{\sqrt{2}}\\<br /> \\<br /> E_1 &amp; = 4.44 N_1.{\phi}_m.f<br /> \end{align}<br /> \boxed{E_1 = 4.44 N_1.B_m.A.f}<br />
BTW, it would have been helpful in the original post if you had specified that you wanted to do this in a flalign environment.

Thanks D H. You are great! :)

<br /> \begin{align*}<br /> E_1 &amp; = \frac{e_{1max}}{\sqrt{2}}\\<br /> &amp; = \frac{N_1.{\phi}_m.w}{\sqrt{2}}\\<br /> &amp; = \frac{N_1{\phi}_m.2\pi.f}{\sqrt{2}}\\<br /> \\<br /> E_1 &amp; = 4.44 N_1.{\phi}_m.f \\<br /> \\<br /> E_1 &amp;= \fbox{$4.44 N_1.B_m.A.f$}<br /> \end{align*}<br />
\fbox works in ordinary \LaTeX... but you'll need to use \fbox{$math expression$}
