At a Particular Instant of Time the Total Magnetic Flux

Multiple Choice

At a particular instant of time the total magnetic flux through a stationary conducting loop is less in magnitude than the flux associated with an externally applied field.This might occur because:

A) the applied field is normal to the loop and increasing in magnitude
B) the applied field is normal to the loop and decreasing in magnitude
C) the applied field is parallel to the plane of the loop and increasing in magnitude
D) the applied field is parallel to the plane of the loop and decreasing in magnitude
E) the applied field is tangent to the loop
