Introduction
The magnetic flux
through any surface gives us an idea about how many magnetic field lines are
passing through that surface.
Pre-Requisites:
Electromagnetic Induction, Flux, Magnetic Flux, Magnetic field lines
Activity:
Magnetic Flux in the physical world
Real Life Question:
How do we determine
the strength of magnetic field at a finite surface?
Key Words / FlashCards

What you learn in Theory:
That magnetic flux
through a surface is the dot product of magnetic field and the area vectors.
What you learn in Practice:
That magnetic flux
tells us about the quantity of field lines that are flowing through a surface
and thus, it can help us mathematically compare the effect of field lines
through different surfaces.
