1) The plane of the loop is perpendicular to the magnetic field.

2) The magnetic flux is independent of the orientation of the loop. p

Explanation:

The flux is calculated as φ=BAcosθ. The flux is therefore the highest when the magnetic field vector is perpendicular to the plane of the loop We can also deduce that the flux is zero when there is no magnetic field part perpendicular to the loop When the angle reaches zero, the flux is in the limit because when the angle becomes zero, the cos is the maximum.
