Solution
Properties of magnetic lines of force:-
- Magnetic lines of force (or magnetic field lines) are closed continuous curves. They start from the North Pole and end at the South Pole.
- The tangent at any point on a magnetic line of force gives the direction of the magnetic field at that point.
- No two magnetic lines of force can intersect each other.
- Magnetic lines of force are crowded where the magnetic field is strong, and they are far from each other where the field is weak.
