All right, hello.
00:01
In this question, we are given these three situations, and we are asked about the flux and what that means.
00:09
So part a is recall and write down the definition of magnetic flux, the angle between what and what.
00:15
So we know that magnetic flux is equal to b dotted with a.
00:21
But what does that mean? well, it's going to be the magnitude of b times the magnitude of a times the cosine of the angle between them, cosine of theta here.
00:31
And so what direction do these two vectors point? well, b obviously points in the direction that b points in.
00:39
A points perpendicular to the area.
00:42
So if i draw some area shape, the vector that points completely perpendicular to that, that is at a right angle from that area, that's what a is.
00:55
And so you can see it drawn very well in these pictures here.
00:59
So for the part a, it's the angle between the magnetic field and the area normal vector.
01:10
Part b then says, write down the magnetic flux in each case.
01:13
Use the symbol given in the diagram.
01:16
If 0, just write 0.
01:17
So for a here, our flux is going to be equal to just b times a.
01:23
The cosine of the angle between them is 0 degrees because they're pointing in the same direction.
01:28
And we know the cosine of 0 is 1.
01:30
So it's going to just be b times a...
