Electromagnetic Induction: Practice Problem & Solution
1. A square loop of side $1 m$ and resistance $1 \Omega$ is placed in a magnetic field of $0.5 T$. If the plane of loop of perpendicular to the direction of a magnetic field, the magnetic flux through the loop is: (2022)
Solution Explained:
To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Electromagnetic Induction. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:
Area of the square loop is $A = 1 \times 1 = 1 m^2$.
Since the plane of the loop is perpendicular to the magnetic field, the normal to the loop is parallel to the field, so $\theta = 0^\circ$.
Magnetic flux is $\Phi = B A \cos(0^\circ) = 0.5 \times 1 \times 1 = 0.5 Wb$.
