A uniform magnetic field makes an angle of 30o with the z axis. If the magnetic flux through a 1.0 m2 portion of the xy plane is 5.0 Wb then the magnetic flux through a 2.0 m2 portion of the same plane is:(a) 4.3 Wb
(b) 10 Wb
(c) 2.5 Wb
(d) 5.8 Wb
(e) 5 Wb

(b) 10 Wb

Explanation:

Given;

angle of inclination of magnetic field, θ = 30°

initial area of the plane, A₁ = 1 m²

initial magnetic flux through the plane, Φ₁ =  5.0 Wb

Magnetic flux is given as;

Φ = BACosθ

where;

B is the strength of magnetic field

A is the area of the plane

θ is the angle of inclination

Φ₁ = BA₁Cosθ

5 = B(1 x cos30)

B = 5/(cos30)

B = 5.7735 T

Now calculate the magnetic flux through a 2.0 m² portion of the same plane

Φ₂ = BA₂Cosθ

Φ₂ = 5.7735 x 2 x cos30

Φ₂ = 10 Wb

Therefore, the magnetic flux through a 2.0 m² portion of the same plane is is 10 Wb.
