Solution
The different characteristics of magnetic field lines are-
(i) Magnetic field lines are always closed curves .
(ii) The direction of magnetic field lines outside a magnet is from North pole to South Pole while inside a magnet the direction of magnetic field is from South pole to North pole.
(iii)Two magnetic field lines never intersect each other.
(iv)The density of magnetic field lines corresponds to the strength of magnetic field at that point in space.
(v) Magnetic field lines can't abruptly decrease to zero at once from a finite value as in that case the direction of field at that point becomes indeterminate.
