Flux dependant upon the number of turns?

In summary, the conversation discusses the relationship between the number of turns of wire and the magnetic flux in a coil. There is conflicting information about whether or not the number of turns affects the flux, with some sources stating that it does and others stating that it does not. However, it is generally agreed upon that the EMF in a coil is influenced by the number of turns. This information is important for understanding the ϕ=BA equation, which does not explicitly include the number of turns.

Is the book's answer correct? Doesn't the flux increase when you increase the number of turns of wire? I'm getting conflicting information from multiple places: https://physics.stackexchange.com/q...-of-turns-in-a-loop-part-of-the-magnetic-flux the dude says N (number of turns of wire) affects ϕ.
Also: http://i.imgur.com/hzwGz0n.png the book even plainly states that. However, nowhere in the book is N included in the ϕ=BA equation.
What's going on!?
I have a test on this area in 4 hours and i need to know this

The EMF in a coil is certainly dependent on the number of turns of the coil. You can think of it as being the difference between the area of a circle and the area of a helix.
 

FAQ: Flux dependant upon the number of turns?

What is flux dependent upon the number of turns?

The amount of flux, or magnetic field, generated in a coil is directly proportional to the number of turns in the coil.

How does the number of turns affect flux?

An increase in the number of turns in a coil will result in an increase in the strength of the magnetic field, and therefore an increase in the amount of flux.

Is there a limit to the number of turns that can be used to generate flux?

There is no specific limit to the number of turns that can be used, but as the number of turns increases, the coil can become physically larger and more difficult to produce.

How does flux change as the number of turns is varied?

The flux will increase as the number of turns increases, and decrease as the number of turns decreases.

What other factors can affect flux, in addition to the number of turns?

Other factors that can affect flux include the strength of the current passing through the coil, the material of the coil, and the presence of any magnetic materials near the coil.
