What is the Magnetic Flux Through the Sixth Face of a Die?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The magnetic flux through the faces of a die is calculated using the formula (sigma)B = N Wb, where N represents the number of spots on each face. For faces with an even number of spots, the flux is positive (outward), while for faces with an odd number of spots, the flux is negative (inward). The correct magnetic flux through the sixth face of the die is determined to be 3 Wb, indicating an outward direction. This conclusion is reached by analyzing the contributions of the first five faces and their respective flux values.

The magnetic flux through each of five faces of a die (singular of "dice") is given by (sigma)B = N Wb, where N (= 1 to 5) is the number of spots on the face. The flux is positive (outward) for N even and negative (inward) for N odd. What is the flux through the sixth face of the die?

I don't understand what I am doing wrong with this one. Why isn't the answer 1 Wb? Can anyone help me

Strange question, but the answer is 3 Wb(going out).

Live long and prosper.

Can you show what you did? We can't explain why you got the wrong answer without seeing your work.

Thanks,
