The image above represents magnetic flux. Two essential parameters are needed to calculate magnetic flux: Area (A) and Total Magnetic Field (B).

The formula for calculating magnetic flux:

φ = B.A

Where:

φ = Magnetic Flux
A = Area
B = Total Magnetic Field

Let’s solve an example;
Find the magnetic flux with a given area of 32 and a total magnetic field of 18.

This implies that;

A = Area = 32
B = Total Magnetic Field = 18

φ = B.A
That is, φ = (18)(32)
φ = 576

Therefore, the magnetic flux is 576 Wb.

Calculating the Area when the Magnetic Flux and the Total Magnetic Field are Given

A = ^φ / _B

Where;

A = Area
φ = Magnetic Flux
B = Total Magnetic Field

Let’s solve an example;
Find the area when the magnetic flux is 40 and the total magnetic field is 20.

This implies that;

φ = Magnetic Flux = 40
B = Total Magnetic Field = 20

This means, A = ^φ / _B
A = ⁴⁰ / ₂₀
A = 2

Therefore, the area is 2.

Calculating the Total Magnetic Field when the Magnetic Flux and the Area are Given

B = ^φ / _A

Where;

B = Total Magnetic Field
φ = Magnetic Flux
A = Area

Let’s solve an example;
Find the total magnetic field when the magnetic flux is 25 and the area is 5.

This implies that;

φ = Magnetic Flux = 25
A = Area = 5

This means, B = ^φ / _A
B = ²⁵ / ₅
B = 5

Therefore, the total magnetic field is 5.
