A coil of wire has 100 turns and is placed in a magnetic field of strength 0.5 T. If the area of the coil is 0.1 m² and the magnetic field is perpendicular to the coil, what is the magnetic flux through the coil? (2022)
5 Wb
0.5 Wb
10 Wb
0.05 Wb
Magnetic flux (Φ) = B × A × cos(θ). Here, B = 0.5 T, A = 0.1 m², and θ = 0° (cos(0) = 1). Thus, Φ = 0.5 T × 0.1 m² × 1 = 0.05 Wb.

Q: A coil of wire has 100 turns and is placed in a magnetic field of strength 0.5 T. If the area of the coil is 0.1 m² and the magnetic field is perpendicular to the coil, what is the magnetic flux through the coil? (2022)
Solution: Magnetic flux (Φ) = B × A × cos(θ). Here, B = 0.5 T, A = 0.1 m², and θ = 0° (cos(0) = 1). Thus, Φ = 0.5 T × 0.1 m² × 1 = 0.05 Wb.
