Enter the flux at the first point or in the first system and the flux at the second point or in the second system into the calculator to determine the Flux Ratio. This calculator can also evaluate any of the variables given the others are known.

Flux Ratio Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Flux Ratio.

FR = F1 / F2

Variables:

  • FR is the Flux Ratio
  • F1 is the flux at the first point or in the first system
  • F2 is the flux at the second point or in the second system

To calculate the Flux Ratio, divide the flux at the first point or in the first system (F1) by the flux at the second point or in the second system (F2). The result is the Flux Ratio (FR), which represents the comparative flow of a particular quantity at two different points or in two different systems.

What is a Flux Ratio?

A flux ratio is a measure used in various scientific fields such as physics, astronomy, and electronics to compare the flow of a particular quantity. It is the ratio of the flux (the total amount of a quantity passing through a surface per unit time) at two different points or in two different systems. For example, in astronomy, it can refer to the ratio of the brightness of two celestial objects. In electronics, it can refer to the ratio of magnetic flux in different parts of a magnetic circuit.

How to Calculate Flux Ratio?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Flux Ratio.


  1. First, determine the flux at the first point or in the first system (F1).
  2. Next, determine the flux at the second point or in the second system (F2).
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = FR = F1 / F2.
  4. Finally, calculate the Flux Ratio.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

Flux at the first point or in the first system (F1) = 10

Flux at the second point or in the second system (F2) = 5
