Calculations based on magnetic flux

Magnetic flux

Magnetic flux is a measurement of the total magnetic field which passes through a given area. It is a useful tool for helping describe the effects of the magnetic force on something occupying a given area.

Magnetic flux is the product of the average magnetic field times the perpendicular area that it crosses.

Magnetic flux = Magnetic field * Area * (angle between the planar area and the magnetic flux)

The equation is:

Φ = B A cos(θ)

Where:

Φ: Magnetic Flux

A: Area

B: Magnetic field

θ: angle between a perpendicular vector to the area and the magnetic field
