A wedge-shaped block shown in Figure is placed in a region where a constant magnetic field parallel to axis exists. Which one is correct about the total magnetic flux through all its surfaces? It is not zero because the magnetic field lines make an angle depending on the surface orientation and not all the surfaces are equal. A) B) It is a nonzero negative number because the back surface of the object is larger than the front surface. It is a nonzero positive number because the angle e is smaller than 90°.

A wedge-shaped block shown in Figure is placed in aregion where a constant magnetic field parallel to
y
-axis exists. Which one is correct about the total magnetic flux through all its surfaces?
It is not zero because the magnetic field lines make an angle depending on the surface orientation and not all the surfaces are equal.
O A)
O B) It is a nonzero negative number because the back surface of the object is larger than the front surface.
It is a nonzero positive number because the angle e is smaller than 90°.
It is zero because the magnetic field lines form closed loops.
O D)
It is zero because the surface does not enclose any net electric charge.
