Magnetic Flux through a Loop Calculation

In summary, a simple magnetic flux prob is a scientific instrument used to measure the magnetic flux passing through a given surface. It works by using electromagnetic induction and is typically measured in units of Tesla or Weber. It is calibrated by exposing it to a known magnetic field and is commonly used in physics and engineering experiments and in industries such as manufacturing for quality control purposes.

Simple Magnetic Flux Prob...

Homework Statement


2hrljjl.jpg


What is the magnitude of magnetic flux through the loop? (a=22 cm, b=27 cm, B1=1.2 T, B2=1.7 T.)


Homework Equations


MF = AB cos theta


The Attempt at a Solution


MF = AB
So wouldn't I just do ((0.2m * 0.2m) * 1.2) + ((0.22m * 0.27m) * 1.7)
but that's not getting me the right answer...what am I doing wrong?

What is a simple magnetic flux prob?

A simple magnetic flux prob is a scientific instrument used to measure the magnetic flux, or the amount of magnetic field passing through a given surface. It typically consists of a coil of wire connected to a meter or other measuring device.

How does a simple magnetic flux prob work?

A simple magnetic flux prob works by using the principle of electromagnetic induction. When a magnetic field passes through the coil of wire, it induces a current in the wire, which can be measured by the meter. The strength of the current is directly proportional to the strength of the magnetic field.

What are the units of measurement for magnetic flux?

Magnetic flux is typically measured in units of Tesla (T), which is equivalent to kg/s2A, or Weber (Wb), which is equivalent to kgm2/s2A.

How is a simple magnetic flux prob calibrated?

A simple magnetic flux prob is calibrated by exposing it to a known magnetic field and adjusting the meter to read the correct value. This calibration process ensures that the instrument is accurately measuring magnetic flux.

What are some common applications of a simple magnetic flux prob?

A simple magnetic flux prob is commonly used in physics and engineering experiments to measure the strength of magnetic fields. It can also be used in industries such as manufacturing, where precise measurements of magnetic flux are necessary for quality control.
