Magnetic Flux Properties – Rankers Physics

Magnetic Flux: Practice Problem & Solution

Assertion (A): Magnetic flux is a vector quantity. Reason (R): Value of magnetic flux cannot be negative.  
Both A & R are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both A & R are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false

Short Solution (Best for NEET):

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Magnetic Flux. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

Magnetic flux \(\phi = \vec{B} \cdot \vec{A}\) is a scalar quantity (A is false). Also, \(\phi = BA cos\theta\) can be negative when \(cos\theta\) is negative, indicating direction relative to area normal (R is false). Both are false.
