Magnetic field lines: The imaginary lines which represent the direction of the magnetic field are called as magnetic field lines.
- The tangent at any point on the field lines gives the direction of the magnetic field vector at that point.
- Magnetic lines of force always emerge or start from the North Pole and terminate on the South Pole.
EXPLANATION:
- A magnetic monopoles (either North Pole or South Pole) never exists alone due to which the magnetic field lines cannot emanate from a point or terminate at a point.
- The two magnetic field lines do not intersect each other because if they do it means at the point of intersect the compass needle is showing two different directions which is not possible.
- There can't be such straight field lines between magnetic poles as the magnetic field always form closed loops.
- There are continuous field lines exists inside the bar magnet.
