Magnetic flux
Magnetic flux is a measurement of the total magnetic field which passes through a given area. It is a useful tool for helping describe the effects of the magnetic force on something occupying a given area.
If we choose a simple flat surface with area A as our test area and there is an angle θ between the normal to the surface and a magnetic field vector (magnitude B) then the magnetic flux is
Φ=BAcosθ
