Suppose you have a magnetic field $\vec{B} = 0.6 \text{ mT } \hat{x}$. Three identical square loops with side lengths $L = 0.5 \text{ m}$ are situated as shown below. The perspective shows a side view of the square loops, so they appear very thin even though they are squares when viewed face on. | Suppose you have a magnetic field $\vec{B} = 0.6 \text{ mT } \hat{x}$.

Since the magnetic field has a uniform direction, and the area of the loop is flat (meaning $\text{d}\vec{A}$ does not change direction either), then we can simplify the dot product: | Since the magnetic field has a uniform direction, and the area of the loop is flat (meaning $\text{d}\vec{A}$ does not change direction either), then we can simplify the dot product: |
