Flux meter gives information about the overall degree of magnetization of the material.The ability of the flux meter to integrate flux over a wide area makes them useful for characterizing magnets.The deflection of the pointer depends only on the integrated flux value and does not show or depends on the time taken by the flux to change.Flexmeter’s scale is calibrated in Weber units, so it is easy to take readings as no unit conversion is required.

This is a portable instrument that can be carried anywhere easily.

Some of the advantages of flux meter are as follows: This device requires very low controlling torque and has heavy electromagnetic damping.Īdvantages and Disadvantages of Flux meter Flux meters are an advanced form of the ballistic galvanometer. There have been considerable improvements in its design and today there are also digital flux meters available in the market. This device is in use since the 19th century to measure the magnetic properties of the earth’s magnetic field. What is a Fluxmeter?įluxmeter is the device used to measure the magnetic flux of a permanent magnet. This article discusses an overview of the flux meter and its working. The change in the voltage level of measuring coils is used to calculate the amount of magnetic flux generated by the permanent magnet. Fluxmeter consists of measuring coils placed between permanent magnets known as Helmholtz coil arrangement. To measure the amount of flux generated from a magnetic surface an instrument called ‘Fluxmeter’ is used. The SI unit of magnetic flux is derived as volt-seconds, also known as Weber and Maxwell as CGS unit. Also the area, A, of the coil = 0.1m × 0.1m = 0.In electromagnetism, magnetic flux is defined as the number of magnetic lines of forces observed at the surface of a magnetic material. Calculate the magnetic flux if:Ī) The coil is perpendicular to the fieldī) The plane of the coil is at 20° to the fieldĪ) If the coil is perpendicular to the field, the normal to the coil must be parallel to the field, therefore θ = 0°.

θ 2 = the angle between the magnetic field and the normal to the area/coil (correct θ)Ī square coil with sides of 10cm is placed in a magnetic field with a strength of 0.4T.

θ 1 = the angle between the magnetic field and the area/coil (incorrect θ).

Be sure you can determine the correct angle to use in the equation. Note: some questions may give the magnetic field at an angle to the plane of the area/coil. The diagram below illustrates the following situations:

Many students incorrectly measure θ as the angle between the plane of the area vector and the magnetic field lines. Is the angle between the magnetic field and the normal to the area vector* Is the strength of the magnetic field parallel to the area vector (in T)

The equation used to calculate the magnetic flux, 𝜙, is: For example, a small area with a large magnetic flux density could have the same magnetic flux as a large area with a small magnetic flux density. Note: we could have equal amounts of magnetic flux through different sized areas. The density of these field lines represents the magnetic flux density and the number of field lines through any particular area represents the magnetic flux.

Recall that the strength of a magnetic field, B is measured in tesla (T) and now also, weber per square metre (Wbm −2).įaraday pictured a magnetic field consisting of a series of field lines. It is the amount of magnetic flux passing through a unit area. The strength of a magnetic field, B, is known as the magnetic flux density. It is given the symbol 𝜙 and is measured in weber (Wb). Magnetic flux is the name given to the amount of magnetic field passing through a given area. The amount of magnetic is known as magnetic flux. To understand how a changing magnetic field can induce an electric current, it is important to first look at the ‘amount of magnetic field’. The current that Faraday observed was produced by what’s known as an emf, ε. The term emf is derived from electromotive force but it is more correct to think of emf as a voltage, or a potential difference rather than a force. The creation of an electric current as a result of a changing magnetic field is known as electromagnetic induction. Faraday discovered that a changing magnetic field can produce an electric current. Experiments conducted by Hans Christian Orsted and Michael Faraday in the 19th century concluded that there was a link between electric and magnetic fields.
