Solution
Important properties of magnetic field lines due to a bar magnet:
- Field lines form a close loop
- Field lines do not intersect
- Degree of the closeness of lines represents the relative strength of the field in regions
- The direction of a magnetic field at a point is along the tangent to a line at that point
