At a certain location, the Earth's magnetic field has a magnitude of 5.90E-5 T and points in a direction that is 71.6° below the horizontal. Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic flux through the top of a desk at this location that measures 132 cm by 83.3 cm.

Answer 1

B*A*cos71.6

Make sure the area is in sq. meters.

The flux will be in webers

Unless you show some work of your own on physics problems, I shll be reluctant to provide further assistance.

Answer 2

This is actually incorrect... The angle between the B field and the area is 90-71.6 degrees, or 75 degrees. B*A*COS angle.
