Question

Magnetic field lines are shown in the given diagram. A student makes a statement that the magnetic field at X is stronger than at Y. 

1. Explain with reason if the student’s claim is correct.
2. Also redraw the diagram and mark the direction of magnetic field lines.

Answer 1

1. Yes, the student’s claim is correct.
   The strength of a magnetic field is indicated by the degree of closeness (or density) of magnetic field lines. At point X, the field lines are close together compared to point Y. This indicates that the magnetic field is stronger at X than at Y.
