JEE MainPhysicsModerateMagnetic effect of current

Consider a circular coil of wire carrying constant current I,
forming a magnetic dipole. The magnetic flux through an infinite plane

that contains the circular coil and excluding the circular coil area is

given by
ϕi\phi_{i}.The magnetic flux through the area of the circular
coil area is given by
ϕ0\phi_{0}. Which of the following optionis
correct?

Show answer and solution
As magnetic field lines always form a closed loop, hence every
magnetic field line creating magnetic flux in the inner region must be

passing through the outer region. Since flux in two regions are in

opposite direction,

∴\therefore ϕi=−ϕ0\phi_{i} = - \phi_{0}
