A coil is placed in magnetic field such that plane of coil is perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field. The magnetic flux through a coil can be changed:

A. By changing the magnitude of the magnetic field within the coil.

B. By changing the area of coil within the magnetic field.

C. By changing the angle between the direction of magnetic field and the plane of the coil.

D. By reversing the magnetic field direction abruptly without changing its magnitude.

Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
  1. (A)A and B only
  2. (B)A, B and C only✓ Correct
  3. (C)A, B and D only
  4. (D)A and C only

Answer: (B)

Solution

Magnetic flux is , where is the angle between and the coil's normal (initially , ). Flux depends on exactly three quantities, so it changes if (A) the field magnitude changes, (B) the enclosed area changes, or (C) the orientation angle between field and coil plane changes. A, B and C each alter . Statement D (abruptly reversing the field at fixed magnitude) only reverses the sign of an already-maximum flux and is a special case of an orientation change, not an independent mechanism. The three fundamental ways are A, B and C, so the answer is 'A, B and C only'.
