The flux linked with a plane loop of area , whose normal makes angle with a uniform field , is
(a) Plane of the loop perpendicular to . Here the loop's normal is PARALLEL to , so the angle between the normal and is , giving and
(b) Plane of the loop parallel to . Here the loop's normal is PERPENDICULAR to , so , giving and
no field lines cross the loop's surface at all in this orientation.
✓Final answer
Maximum flux when the loop's plane is perpendicular to ; zero flux when the loop's plane is parallel to .
