A Gaussian surface in the shape of a right circular cylinder with end caps has a radius of 12.6 cm and a length of 112 cm. Through one end there is an inward magnetic flux of 27.4 μWb. At the other end there is a uniform magnetic field of 2.04 mT, normal to the surface and directed outward. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (inward or outward) of the net magnetic flux through the curved surface?

Answer:

the magnitude of the flux is [tex]73.30 \ \mu Wb[/tex]

the direction is inward

Explanation:

The total net magnetic flux is equal to the sum of all the magnetic flux through the surfaces.

i.e

[tex]\phi _{net} = \phi _{1} \ + \ \phi_{2} \ + \ \phi_{3}[/tex]

Given that:

[tex]\phi _ 1 = 27.4 \ \mu Wb[/tex]

Using Gauss's Law of Magnetism; we have:

[tex]\int\limits B. \ dA = 0[/tex]

[tex]\phi _{1} \ + \ \phi_{2} \ + \ \phi_{3} = 0[/tex]

Here; [tex]\phi_1 = \ - 27.4 \ \mu Wb[/tex]

and [tex]\phi_2 = B.A[/tex]

[tex]\phi_2 = \pi r^2 B[/tex]

= [tex](3.14)(12.6*10^{-2}m)^2(2.04*`10^{-3}T)[/tex]

= [tex]1016.95*10^{-7}[/tex]

= 101.70 [tex]\mu Wb[/tex]

Now [tex]\phi_3 = - \phi_1 - \phi_2[/tex]

= 27.4 - 101.70

= -74.3 [tex]\mu Wb[/tex]

so the magnitude of the flux = 74.3 [tex]\mu Wb[/tex]

b) Since the sign of the flux is  negative, therefore the direction of the flux is inward.
