Magnetic Flux & Magnetic Density

AI Thread Summary
Magnetic flux is defined as the total quantity of magnetism, represented as 3 webers, which accounts for both the strength and extent of a magnetic field. Magnetic flux density at point C is described as 2 tesla, indicating the amount of magnetic flux per unit area that is perpendicular to the direction of the flux. The unit of magnetic flux is weber (Wb), while the unit of area is square meters (m²). Consequently, magnetic flux density is expressed in weber per square meter (Wb/m²), which is equivalent to tesla (T). Understanding these definitions and units is crucial for solving related problems in magnetism.

Homework Statement


** What do we mean by saying:
A)) The magnetic flux = 3 webber
The quantity of magnetism, taking into account the strength and the extent of a magnetic field equal 3 webber ?? is that correct?


B)) The magnetic flus density in C point = 2 tesla
the amount of magnetic flux per unit area of a section, perpendicular to the direction of flux equal 2 tesla
OR
the amount of magnetic flux per unit area of a section, perpendicular to the direction of flux equal 2 webber

is it a difficult question ?! :bugeye:
 
What is the unit of magnetic flux? What is the unit of unit area? When you know these then what is the unit of magnetic flux per unit area?
 
What is the unit of magnetic flux?
Weber
what is the unit of unit area?
m2
When you know these then what is the unit of magnetic flux per unit area?
Weber/m2
 
Yep that is all correct. Now you also know that 1 Wb=1 T m^2. This follows from the definition of magnetic flux, magnetic field T times area m^2. Using this result what is the unit of the magnetic flux per unit area?
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
