Flux density (B): the amount of magnetic, electric, or other flux passing through a unit area.

\(B = \frac{ϕ }{A}\)

Flux: Magnetic flux is a measurement of the total magnetic field which passes through a given area, i.e. 

ϕ = B × A

Observation:

For a constant current around the coil, the magnetic field generated will also be constant, i.e. B = constant. Now for double the area, the net flux will be:

ϕ' = B × 2A

ϕ' = 2ϕ
