key term - Magnetic Flux

Definition

Magnetic flux refers to the measure of the total magnetic field passing through a given area. It depends on the strength of the magnetic field, the angle between the magnetic field and the area, and the size of the area.

Magnetic Field: A magnetic field is an invisible force surrounding a magnet or electric current that exerts a force on other magnets or moving charges.

Faraday's Law:

Faraday's law states that a change in magnetic flux induces an electromotive force (EMF) in a closed loop, resulting in an induced current.

Gauss's Law for Magnetism: Gauss's law for magnetism states that there are no isolated magnetic poles, and any closed surface will have zero net magnetic flux passing through it.
