Correct answer: 175
- Given loop vertices
The loop is formed by the points
So the closed polygon is .
The magnetic field is uniform:
We need the magnetic flux through this loop: where is the vector area of the non-planar closed loop.
- Use vector area of a closed polygon
For a closed loop with consecutive position vectors , with .
Let us compute this for the vertices in order:
Their position vectors are:
Now calculate each cross product.
- Compute the cross products
\begin{vmatrix} \hat i & \hat j & \hat k\\ 5 & 0 & 0\\ 5 & 5 & 0 \end{vmatrix} = 25\hat k$$ $$\vec r_C \times \vec r_D = \begin{vmatrix} \hat i & \hat j & \hat k\\ 5 & 5 & 0\\ 0 & 5 & 0 \end{vmatrix} = 25\hat k$$ $$\vec r_D \times \vec r_E = \begin{vmatrix} \hat i & \hat j & \hat k\\ 0 & 5 & 0\\ 0 & 5 & 5 \end{vmatrix} = 25\hat i$$ $$\vec r_E \times \vec r_F = \begin{vmatrix} \hat i & \hat j & \hat k\\ 0 & 5 & 5\\ 0 & 0 & 5 \end{vmatrix} = 25\hat i$$ $$\vec r_F \times \vec r_A = (0,0,0)$$ Now sum them: $$\sum (\vec r_i \times \vec r_{i+1}) = 50\hat i + 50\hat k$$ Hence, $$\vec A = \frac12(50\hat i + 50\hat k) = 25\hat i + 25\hat k$$ --- 4. **Compute the flux** $$\Phi = \vec B \cdot \vec A$$ $$\Phi = (3\hat i + 4\hat k) \cdot (25\hat i + 25\hat k)$$ $$\Phi = 3\times 25 + 4\times 25 = 75 + 100 = 175$$ So the magnetic flux through the loop is $$\boxed{175\ \text{Wb}}$$ --- 5. **Comparison with stored answer** Stored correct answer: $175$ Our derived answer is also $175$, so they agree.
