A 10 T uniform magnetic field in the yz-plane is directed 0 = 100° from the +y-axis. Calculate the magnetic flux through a 10 m × 5.9 m rectangular area in the xy-plane. Use the following conventions: Let 8 be measured from the +y-axis towards the +z-axis and let the rectangle's area vector be in the +z-direction. (And remember that electric flux can be positive or negative.)

Question
**Problem Statement: Magnetic Flux Calculation**

A uniform magnetic field of magnitude 10 T is situated in the yz-plane and directed at an angle θ = 100° from the +y-axis. Determine the magnetic flux through a rectangular area measuring 10 m by 5.9 m located in the xy-plane.

**Conventions:**
- The angle θ is measured starting from the +y-axis towards the +z-axis.
- The area vector of the rectangle is directed in the +z-direction.
- Note that electric flux can be positive or negative.

**Instructions:**
- Calculate the magnetic flux by considering the dot product of the magnetic field vector and the area vector.
- Ensure appropriate use of trigonometric components based on the given angle and conventions.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Given data

Magnetic field is B equals 10 space straight T

Area is A equals 10 space straight m cross times 5.9 space straight m

Angle made by magnetic field with +y-axis towards +z-axis is theta equals 100 to the power of degree

Note:

i with hat on top times i with hat on top equals j with hat on top times j with hat on top equals k with hat on top times k with hat on top equals 1
i with hat on top times j with hat on top equals j with hat on top times k with hat on top equals k with hat on top times i with hat on top equals 0
j with hat on top times i with hat on top equals k with hat on top times j with hat on top equals i with hat on top times k with hat on top equals 0

Find:
