How many of the above statements are correct?
I. The magnetic flux linked with a coil is maximum when the plane of the coil is parallel to the magnetic field.
II. The SI unit of magnetic flux is equivalent to tesla per square metre ().
III. Magnetic flux through a given surface is a scalar quantity.
IV. The dimensional formula of magnetic flux is .
How many of the above statements are correct?
Options
- AOnly one
- BOnly three
- COnly two
- DAll four
Correct answer
C. Only two
Step-by-step solution
Let us evaluate each statement:
Statement I is incorrect. The magnetic flux is given by , where is the angle between the area vector (normal to the plane) and the magnetic field. When the plane of the coil is parallel to the magnetic field, , making the flux zero (minimum), not maximum.
Statement II is incorrect. The SI unit of magnetic flux is the weber (Wb), which is equivalent to tesla square metre (), not .
Statement III is correct. Magnetic flux is defined as the dot product of the magnetic field vector and the area vector (), which yields a scalar quantity.
Statement IV is correct. The dimensional formula for magnetic field is . Multiplying by area gives the dimensional formula for magnetic flux as .
Therefore, exactly two statements (III and IV) are correct.
