Question 1

Part A

Determine the magnitude of the magnetic flux through the south-facing window of a house in British Columbia, where Earth's B  field has a magnitude of 5.8 × 105T and the direction of B  field is 72 below horizontal with the horizontal component of B  field directed to the north. Assume the area of the window is 5.0 m2 .

Explanation / Answer

Here,

magnetic field , B = 5.8 *10^-5 T

area of window , A = 5 m^2

a) for the south facing window

flux passing through the window = B * A * cos(theta)

flux passing through the window 5.8 *10^-5 * 5 * cos(72 degree)

flux passing through the window = 8.96 *10^-5 T.m^2

b) for the west facing window

the angle between area vector = B * A * cos(90 degree)

angle between area vector = 0 T.m^2
