Flux Density Formula

The following formula is used to calculate a flux density.

FD = Φ / A

To calculate flux density, divide the total flux by the total area.

A flux density is defined as the total flux per unit of the area generated from a magnetic field.

How to calculate flux density?

First, determine the total flux.
Calculate the total flux generated from the magnetic field.
Next, determine the total area.
Measure the total area the flux is acting on.
Finally, calculate the flux density.
Divide the flux by the area to find the flux density.

What is flux density?

Flux density is the total flux per unit area that is being generated by a magnetic field.
