Properties of magnetic flux or magnetic lines of force
1. They always form complete closed loops. Unlike lines of electric flux, which radiate from and terminate at the charged surfaces, lines of magnetic flux exist all the way through the magnet.
2. They behave as if they are elastic. That is, when distorted they try to return to their natural shape and spacing.
3. The lines of force of magnetic field are radiated from the north (N) pole to the south (S) pole.
4. Flux lines do not cross or interact with each other.
