A circular disc of the radius 0.2 m0.2 \text{ m} is placed in a uniform magnetic field of induction 1π Wb m2\frac{1}{\pi} \text{ Wb m}^{-2} in such a way that its axis makes an angle of 6060^\circ with B\vec{B}. The magnetic flux linked to the disc will be:

A

0.02 Wb

B

0.06 Wb

C

0.08 Wb

D

0.01 Wb

Step-by-Step Solution

The magnetic flux (ΦB\Phi_B) through a surface is defined as the scalar product of the magnetic field (B\vec{B}) and the area vector (A\vec{A}): ΦB=BA=BAcosθ\Phi_B = \vec{B} \cdot \vec{A} = BA \cos \theta

  1. Identify parameters: Magnetic Field (BB) = 1π Wb m2\frac{1}{\pi} \text{ Wb m}^{-2} Radius (rr) = 0.2 m0.2 \text{ m} Area (AA) = πr2=π(0.2)2=0.04π m2\pi r^2 = \pi (0.2)^2 = 0.04\pi \text{ m}^2 Angle (θ\theta): The area vector A\vec{A} is directed along the normal to the surface, which coincides with the axis of the disc. The problem states the axis makes an angle of 6060^\circ with B\vec{B}. Therefore, θ=60\theta = 60^\circ .

  2. Calculation: Substituting the values into the flux formula: ΦB=(1π)(0.04π)cos(60)\Phi_B = \left( \frac{1}{\pi} \right) (0.04\pi) \cos(60^\circ) ΦB=0.04×0.5\Phi_B = 0.04 \times 0.5 ΦB=0.02 Wb\Phi_B = 0.02 \text{ Wb}
