Question

List the properties of magnetic lines of force.

Answer 1

List the properties of magnetic lines of force:

Properties of magnetic lines of force are enlisted below as follows –

• The starting point of line of magnetic force starts from the North pole and always considered as the North pole. Similarly, the ending point as the South pole.

• The body has the lines of magnetic force cosmopolitan and evenly distributed.

• These lines of magnetic force are known to cross through the metal more easily than passing through air.

• The most significant of all, any two lines of magnetic force never intersect throughout anywhere.

• The expansion of lines of magnetic field occurs in lateral position and contraction in longitudinal position.

Answer 2

The properties of magnetic lines of force are as follows.

(a) Magnetic field lines emerge from the north pole.

(b) They merge at the south pole.

(c) The direction of field lines inside the magnet is from the south pole to the north pole.

(d) Magnetic lines do not intersect with each other.
