Question:

A loop ABCDEFA of straight edges has six corner points A(0, 0, 0), B(5, 0, 0), C(5, 5, 0), D (0, 5, 0), E(0, 5, 5) and F(0, 0, 5). The magnetic field in this region is \( \overrightarrow B = \left( {3\widehat i + 4\widehat k} \right)T \) . The quantity of flux through the loop ABCDEFA (in Wb) is _______.

Show Hint

Flux = \(\vec B\cdot\vec A\) with the vector area of the loop; split the loop into two square faces, one in the xy-plane and one in the yz-plane.

Correct Answer: 175

Solution and Explanation

The loop A-B-C-D-E-F-A equals the square ABCD (in the xy-plane, side 5) plus the square ADEF (in the yz-plane); the common edge AD is traversed in opposite directions and cancels.
Face ABCD (counter-clockwise seen from +z): \(\vec A_1=25\,\hat k\ \text{m}^2\).
Face ADEF (A(0,0,0), D(0,5,0), E(0,5,5), F(0,0,5), counter-clockwise seen from +x): \(\vec A_2=25\,\hat i\ \text{m}^2\).
\(\vec A=25(\hat i+\hat k)\). Flux \(\phi=\vec B\cdot\vec A=(3\hat i+4\hat k)\cdot25(\hat i+\hat k)=25(3+4)=175\) Wb.
