A loop, made of straight edges has six corners at A(0, 0, 0), B(L, 0, 0), C(L, L, 0), D(0, L, 0), E(0, L, L) and F(0, 0, L). A magnetic field B=B0(ˆi+ˆk) T is present in the region. The flux passing through the loop ABCDEFA (in that order) is:

1. B0L2 Wb

2. 2B0L2 Wb

3. 2B0L2 Wb

4. 4B0L2 Wb

(b) Hint: The flux passing through the loop depends on the area of the loop.
Step 1: Find the flux.
The magnetic flux linked with the surface of area A in a uniform magnetic field is given by;
             ϕ=B.A
           A=A1+A2=(L2ˆk+L2ˆi)
and    B=B0(ˆi+ˆk) T
Now  ϕ=B.A=B0(ˆi+ˆk).(L2ˆk+L2ˆi)
           =2B0L2 Wb
