Section 28.2 Magnetic Flux

Just as you learned about electric flux in Electric Flux, magnetic flux can be calculated in the same way.

Definition 28.2.1. Magnetic flux.

Magnetic flux is a measure of how much magnetic field is passing perpendicularly through a surface:
\begin{equation*} \mathit{\Phi}_{B} = \iint \vec{B}\cdot d\vec{A} \end{equation*}
