(b) in either the XY or the YZ plane
(c) in the XZ plane
(d) in any orientation, because it is constant.

Answer:
The correct answer is c
Explanation:
Flow is defined by
Ф = B . A
bold letters indicate vectors.
The magnetic field is directed to the y axis, The area of the coil is represented by a vector normal to the plane of the coil, so to have a flux
i.i = j.j = k.k = 1
and the tori scalar products are zero
a) If the coil must be in the xy plane so that its normal vector is in the Z axis, so there is no flux
b) if the coil is in the plane yz the normal veto is in the x axis, so the flux is zero
C) If the coil is in XZ, the normal vector points in the y direction, usually the scalar product is one and there is a flux in this configuration
The correct answer is c
