Question

List some properties of magnetic lines of force around a bar magnet.

Answer 1

The following are some of the properties of magnetic lines of force around a bar magnet:

1. Outside the magnet, the magnetic lines of force go from the north pole to the south pole.
2. Inside the bar magnet, the magnetic lines of force go from the south pole to the north pole.
3. They form closed loops.
4. The magnetic lines of force never intersect with one another.
5. They are more crowded at the poles than elsewhere around the magnet.
