Question
Magnetic field lines are always nearly normal to the surface of a ferromagnet at every point. (This fact is analogous to the static electric field lines being normal to the surface of a conductor at every point.) Why?

Solution
The permeability of a ferromagnetic material is always greater than one. Hence, magnetic field lines are always nearly normal to the surface of such materials at every point. The proof of this fact is based on the boundary conditions of the magnetic fields at the interface of two media.
