Given information
Given magnetic flux and magnetic field and asked to mention the difference between the two.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Magnetic flux is the measurement of the total magnetic field which passes through a given area. The magnetic field is a quantity that describes how the magnetic force is distributed in the space around and within something magnetic.
The magnetic flux can also be defined as the total number of magnetic field lines passing through an enclosed loop area.
So, flux is proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic field.
The magnetic flux depends not only on the field itself but also on the area and on the angle between the field and the area.
