Question

Figure shows the magnetic field lines in a magnetic field. A, B. and C are three points in this field. At what point is the magnetic field strong ?

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. All the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C C

The close continuous curves in a magnetic field are called magnetic lines of force. Curved lines are used to represent a magnetic field, drawn such that the number of lines relates to the magnetic field's strength at a given point and the tangent of any curve at a particular point is along the direction of magnetic force at that point.
The magnetic lines of force are uniform and strong at the point C and they diverge as they move towards points A and B and the distance between the lines increases. Eventually, the strength of the magnetic field is strong where the lines are closer and they weaken as the closeness decreases.
