Is electric flux density scalar or vector?

Scalar


When magnetic flux through surface is maximum?

Magnetic flux through a surface is maximum when the direction of the magnetic field is in the same direction as the normal vector of the surface. In other words, the magnetic flux is maximum when the magnetic field is perpendicular to the surface area. That's why φ=BAcosθ, where θ is the angle between the direction of the magnetic field and the normal vector of the surface area. When the magnetic field is exactly the same direction as the normal vector (aka the magnetic field is perpendicular to the surface), θ=0 and cosθ = 1, its maximum value. The closer θ is to 90 degrees (ie. the more parallel the direction of the magnetic field is to the surface area, or the less parallel the magnetic field is to the surfaces normal vector), the smaller cosθ is, and thus flux will decrease accordingly.


What is the area around an electric charge which is strongest closest to the charged particle?

It's the electric field.


What is the physical meaning of electric flux?

Electric Flux is generally accepted as the amount of electric field passing through a perpendicular area. For curved surfaces, we sum up infinately small contribututions to small areas that are infinitely small and thus flat.


What is the relationship between electricity and magnetisum?

The magnetic field will be perpendicular to the electric field and vice versa.More DetailAn electric field is the area which surrounds an electric charge within which it is capable of exerting a perceptible force on another electric charge. A magnetic field is the area of force surrounding a magnetic pole, or a current flowing through a conductor, in which there is a magnetic flux. A magnetic field can be produced when an electric current is passed through an electric circuit wound in a helix or solenoid.The relationship that exists between an electric field and a magnetic field is one of electromagnetic interaction as a consequence of associating elementary particles.The electrostatic force between charged particles is an example of this relationship.

What surrounds electric charges and exerts force on other charges?

An electric field surrounds the charge and exerts force on other charges.


A loop of wire is placed in a uniform magnetic field.In which orientation of the loop is the magnetic flux linked with it maximum?

1. The orientation giving the maximum magnetic flux would be 90 degrees or perpendicular to the magnetic field because that gives the maximum amount of magnetic field lines able to pass through the area of the coil. The greater density of field lines gives a greater magnetic field. The orientation that would give a magnetic flux of zero is the plane of the coil to be parallel to the magnetic field, making no lines pass through the coil and thus no flux.
