Question

Compare the pattern of the magnetic field around a sloenoid with the magnetic field around a bar magnet ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Comparison of bar magnet and solenoid :

Similarities

1. Both when hang freely stops in N-S direction.

2. Both attract magnetic substances

3. Both have two poles-N pole and S pole.

4. Like poles repel and unlike poles attract in both of them.

Answer 2

Explanation:

each loop of the solenoid can be considered as a tiny bar magnet and the complete solenoid acts as a larger bar magnet. the line of inside the solenoid the lines of force are directed from the south to north pole. hence, the pattern of lines of force of a solenoid is similar to that of bar magnet
