Solution

  1. Magnetic Field Lines are imaginary lines to represent magnetic field.

Properties:

  1. Magnetic lines of force describe the direction of the magnetic line of force that originates from a north pole at any given position.
  2. Magnetic lines of force enters to south pole in a magnet.
  3. The density of the lines indicates the magnitude of the field. Taking an instance, the magnetic field is stronger and crowded near the poles of a magnet. As we move away from the poles, it is weak, and the lines become less dense.
