Flux can mean multiple things such as:
1. A flowing or flow 2. Continuous change or movement 3. The flowing in of the tide 4. A sticky acidic compound to help solder adhere
In electromagnetism, the magnetic flux field is the component of the magnetic field passing through an object. It is measured in webers (Wb) in volt-seconds.
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.
Under an electric field, magnitude and direction of electric intensity is different in every point.If the electric intensity can be defined through a closed line (direction of electric intensity will be along the tangent of any point of that line)this is called electric lines of force. Electric lines of forces passing through an closed electric surface perpendicularly, is called electric flux.

Every atom with the electron(s) revolving - or "spining" - around the atom's nucleus is a little magnet itself. Electrons of all atoms in a piece of material revolve (spin) in all possible directions, the magnetic field produced be each atom-magnet cancel each other and there is no general magnetic field in the material. If under the influence of an external magnetic flux picture does not change the material is said to be non-magnetic. On the contrary, if under the influence of the external magnetic flux the electrons spinning allign in the direction of the flux, the magnetic field of every atom allign too and produce a general magnetic field - the material is magnetic.
Have you ever seen a magnet? Did you see the field? There you go. While you can't see the field itself directly, you can see the effects of the field if you use iron filings or something like that; they'll line up with the magnetic field lines
In case of electrostatics, flux density = electric field intensity and in case of magnetism, flux density = magnetic field induction
In simple terms, if flux density increases, then field strength increases and vice versa. The flux density is equivalent to field strength times with a variable.
"Magnetic flux density" is also known as the magnetic field,The SI unit for this is the Tesla, written as T.CommentMagnetic flux density is not "also known as the magnetic field". It describes the intensity of a magnetic field.
once flux density is known multiply to it the area perpendicular to the flux lines . the product is the total flux passing through the area. If field strength is known , get the flux density by pultiplying to it the permeability of the medium. then flux can be obtained as above. from : govind Kunkolienker kunkolienker@yahoo.com
Assuming a constant magnetic field, the flux is B*A*cos θ.In this case, the flux is 0.00004 webers.
directly proportional. the greater the flux per unit area, the stronger the field.
Flux is the presence of a force field in a specified physical medium, or the flow of energy through a surface.
Flux means the rate of change of magnetic field lines through a particular region in space. Magnetic field lines are imaginary lines drawn to demonstrate the magnetic field through a region in space. No flux condition means the magnetic field lines in the observed region in space is uniform throughout the experiment.
The magnetic field used in machines is quantified in terms of its flux density (symbol: B), expressed in teslas. The flux density is established by the magnetic field strength (H), expressed in amperes per metre, set up in the field windings.As the magnetic field strength increases, the flux density increases until it reaches saturation. This is the point when the magnetic domains within the magnetic circuit are all aligned. At this point, any further increase in magnetic field strength will fail to increase the flux density.So saturation of the magnetic circuit limits the flux density of the field.
Types of flux - Electric and Magnetic Flux. Electric field flux through a closed surface is equal to the change enclosed in the surface, or the rate of change of magnetic flux is equal to the induced voltage around the surface.
When large magnetomotive force is applied to the core and then removed. The flux in the core doesn't reach zero. Instead, a magnetic field is left behind in the core. This magnetic field is called residual flux in the core. MOHSIN BB-EE-NED
The electric flux depends on charge, when the charge is zero the flux is zero. The electric field depends also on the charge. Thus when the electric flux is zero , the electric field is also zero for the same reason, zero charge. Phi= integral E.dA= integral zcDdA = zcQ Phi is zcQ and depends on charge Q, as does E.
