Magnetic Flux question (1 Viewer)

[Mr_Kap]

In a motor is the
magnetic flux = BA
OR
magnetic flux = BAcos(theta)

 

[iforgotmyname]

Flux = BAcos(theta) for theta is the angle between the plane and perpendicular

 

[InteGrand]

Flux = BAcos(theta) for theta is the angle between the plane and perpendicular

wait is the normal just the line perpendicular to the plane? i thought it was called the perpendicular cause line is perpendicular lol

I think that's what he was trying to say ahhah...Integrand when do you not calculate perpendicular component? Like you do it in torque, in magnetic fields, in motor effect... When don't you?

Yes, but the more formal term for what you called the "perpendicular" is "normal" (for a plane). "Perpendicular" is used more to refer to a line that is perpendicular to another line, rather than a plane (this is just terminology though, my point was about the magnetic field part).

When it's not perpendicular?
