Question

The magnetic field lines inside a bar magnet are directed from?

• A. south pole to north pole
• B. north pole to south pole
• C. centre to south pole
• D. centre to north pole

Answer 1

Answer:

A. south pole to north pole

• Inside a bar magnet, magnetic field lines are directed from the south pole to the north pole.

• Outside the bar magnet, the magnetic field lines curve around and are directed from the north pole to the south pole.

• This forms closed loops, indicating that magnetic field lines are continuous and have no beginning or end within the magnet itself.

• The conventional direction of magnetic field lines is defined as the direction that a north magnetic pole would point if placed in that field.
