Making a field, then counting what gets through
Wind a wire into a long coil and the field inside comes out uniform: , read aloud B equals mu-nought N I over L. is the field inside in teslas; is the total number of turns, a bare count with no units; is the current in amperes; and is the length of the coil in metres — the coil's own length, NOT the length of wire wound onto it. Look at what that means: is turns per metre, so the field only cares how tightly the turns are packed, never how many there are in total.
Now count how much of a field gets through a loop. That is magnetic flux: , read aloud phi equals B A cosine theta. (the Greek letter phi) is the flux in webers (Wb); is the field in teslas; is the loop's area in square metres; and is the angle between the field and the loop's NORMAL — the imaginary spike sticking straight out of the loop's face. Not the loop's plane. Face-on to the field: , cosine is 1, maximum flux. Edge-on: , cosine is 0, and nothing gets through at all.
One weber is exactly one tesla-square-metre — flux earns its own unit because it is the quantity the next lesson differentiates. And watch the two conversions this page keeps setting: coil lengths arrive in centimetres, loop areas in square centimetres, and a square metre holds ten thousand square centimetres, not a hundred.
