Question

A circular coil of radius 5 cm, 20 turns, lies in the plane of a uniform field B = 0.1 T. Magnetic flux through the coil is:
  1. A
    π×10⁻³ Wb per turn
  2. B
    2π×10⁻³ Wb total
  3. C
    2π×10⁻³ per turn
  4. D
    0
    Correct

Correct answer

0

Explanation

If the coil lies in the plane of B, then B is parallel to the plane — meaning B is perpendicular to the area vector. Flux = BA cosθ = BA cos90° = 0.
