A closed cylindrical surface of radius R and length L is placed in a uniform magnetic field B . The axis of the cylinder is aligned parallel to the direction of the magnetic field. The net magnetic flux through the entire closed surface of the cylinder is:

Options

  1. AR² B
  2. B2 R² B
  3. CZero
  4. D2 R L B

Correct answer

C. Zero

Step-by-step solution

According to Gauss's law for magnetism, the net magnetic flux through any closed surface is always zero. This is because magnetic monopoles do not exist, and magnetic field lines form continuous closed loops. Mathematically, B d A = 0 Alternatively, calculating the flux through each part of the closed cylinder: The cylinder consists of two flat circular ends and one curved surface. The magnetic field B is parallel to the axis of the cylinder. For the top flat surface, the area vector is parallel to the magnetic fie
