Question 44 of 276

A coil is placed in magnetic field such that plane of coil is perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field. The magnetic flux through a coil can be changed:
A. By changing the magnitude of the magnetic field within the coil.

B. By changing the area of coil within the magnetic field.

C. By changing the angle between the direction of magnetic field and the plane of the coil.

D. By reversing the magnetic field direction abruptly without changing its magnitude.

Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (B) A, B and C only

Magnetic flux through a coil is given by ϕ=B⃗.A⃗\phi =\vec{B}.\vec{A}=BAcos⁡θ=BA\cos \theta, where,BBis magnetic field, AA is area of coil and θ\theta is the angle between BB and AA.
Thus, from above expression, we can say that magnetic flux can be changed by changing magnetic field, area of coil, change the angle between
BB and AA.
Hence, correct options are A, B and C.
