Open in App
Solution

  1. The region around a magnetic dipole or a moving charge generates a field, this field is known as the magnetic field.
  2. For magnetic fields, the SI unit of field intensity is Tesla (T).
  3. The magnetic field is the area around a magnet where the magnetic force can be felt.
  4. Shifting electrical charges can also create magnetic fields.
  5. In physics, a magnetic field is a moving field that causes electric charges and magnetic dipoles to travel due to a magnetic force.
  6. The magnetic field lines emit from the north pole and emerge in the south pole.
  7. Magnetic fields lines properties:
    7.1 Each line is a closed and continuous curve.
    7.2 They originate from the north pole and terminate at the south pole.
    7.3 They will never intersect each other.
    7.4 They are crowded near the poles where the magnetic field is strong.
