Read the following statements carefully:

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 (T m−2\text{T m}^{-2}).
III. Magnetic flux through a given surface is a scalar quantity.
IV. The dimensional formula of magnetic flux is [M L2T−2A−1][\text{M L}^2 \text{T}^{-2} \text{A}^{-1}].

How many of the above statements are correct?

Options

  1. AOnly one
  2. BOnly three
  3. COnly two
  4. 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 Φ=BAcos⁡θ\Phi = BA \cos\theta, where θ\theta 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, θ=90∘\theta = 90^{\circ}, 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 (T m2\text{T m}^2), not T m−2\text{T m}^{-2}.

Statement III is correct. Magnetic flux is defined as the dot product of the magnetic field vector and the area vector (Φ=B⃗⋅A⃗\Phi = \vec{B} \cdot \vec{A}), which yields a scalar quantity.

Statement IV is correct. The dimensional formula for magnetic field BB is [M T−2A−1][\text{M T}^{-2} \text{A}^{-1}]. Multiplying by area [L2][\text{L}^2] gives the dimensional formula for magnetic flux as [M L2T−2A−1][\text{M L}^2 \text{T}^{-2} \text{A}^{-1}].

Therefore, exactly two statements (III and IV) are correct.
