A 2.00 m long metal wire is formed into a square and placed in the horizontal xy-plane. A uniform magnetic field is oriented 30 degrees above the horizontal with a strength of 0.344 T. What is the magnetic flux through the square due to this field?
Length L = 2 m
Circumference of the square S = L
4 a = L
From this side of the square a = L / 4
= 0.5 m
Area of the square A = a 2
= 0.25 m 2
Magnetic field B = 0.344 T
Angle = 30 o
The magnetic flux through the square due to this field = BA cos (90- )
= BA cos 60
= 0.043 weber
