What is the Magnetic Flux Through the Sixth Face of a Die?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the magnetic flux through the faces of a die, where the flux is determined by the number of spots (N) on each face. Positive flux is associated with even numbers (outward), while negative flux is linked to odd numbers (inward). The initial query arises from confusion about the expected flux through the sixth face, with one participant mistakenly believing the answer should be 1 Wb. However, another contributor clarifies that the correct answer is 3 Wb, indicating an outward flux. The conversation emphasizes the importance of showing calculations to identify errors in reasoning.

The magnetic flux through each of five faces of a die (singular of "dice") is given by (sigma)B = N Wb, where N (= 1 to 5) is the number of spots on the face. The flux is positive (outward) for N even and negative (inward) for N odd. What is the flux through the sixth face of the die?

I don't understand what I am doing wrong with this one. Why isn't the answer 1 Wb? Can anyone help me

Strange question, but the answer is 3 Wb(going out).

Live long and prosper.

Can you show what you did? We can't explain why you got the wrong answer without seeing your work.

Thanks,
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Minimum mass of a block'
Here we know that if block B is going to move up or just be at the verge of moving up will act downwards and maximum static friction will act downwards Now what im confused by is how will we know " how quickly" block B reaches its maximum static friction value without any numbers, the suggested solution says that when block A is at its maximum extension, then block B will start to move up but with a certain set of values couldn't block A reach...
