Consider a circular coil of wire carrying constant current I , forming a magnetic dipole. The magnetic flux through an infinite plane that contains the circular coil and excluding the circular coil area is given by ϕ i The magnetic flux through the area of the circular coil area is given by ϕ 0 . Which of the following option is correct?
Options
- Aϕ i = ϕ 0
- Bϕ i > ϕ 0
- Cϕ i < ϕ 0
- Dϕ i = - ϕ 0
Correct answer
D. ϕ i = - ϕ 0
Step-by-step solution
As magnetic field lines always form a closed loop, hence every magnetic field line creating magnetic flux in the inner region must be passing through the outer region. Since flux in two regions are in opposite direction. ∴ ϕ i = - ϕ 0
