Magnetic field lines are usually depicted as curved lines extending away from the source. They are neither parallel or perpendicular (though they appear more parallel than perpendicular).

What do the magnetic patterns indicate about the forces of inteaction between magnets?
The direction of the lines tells us whether there is attraction or repulsion, and the spacing of the lines is a measure of the strength of the magnetic field. The more crowded the lines the stronger the field.
Are the magnetic lines force of a bar magnets strongest at the end of the magnet or in the middle?
That is where the field lines originate and therefore where they are thickest. The thicker the field lines, the stronger the field. To see the magnetic field lines, cover your magnet with a piece of paper and spread metal fillings over it.
What will happen if a magnet's north pole is facing perpendicular to the face of another magnet near it that is they are in perpendicular planes but are near?
Draw some field lines. Use F=qvxB=IlxB to see how the 2 magnets interact.
Do magnetic field lines close together indicate a weaker magnetic field?
no they are not
How could straight copper wire produce magnetic field lines?
The copper by itself will do nothing of the sort. It will be surrounded by magnetic field lines if a current flows through it. It is the current that produces the magnetic field lines.
The closer together a magnets magnetic field lines are?
The stronger the magnetic field is.
What are lines called that map out the magnets field around the magnet?
They are called the magnetic field lines.
What occurs to the magnetic field lines when the magnets have opposite poles facing each other?
The field lines are parallel and create an attractive force field.
When a charge moves in the same direction as the magnetic field lines the magnetic force is?
Perpendicular to both the current and the magnetic field.

If magnetic lines are close what does this mean?
If magnetic lines are close, then the magnetic field has a lot of magnetic lines of force packed together. This translates into a large number of flux lines per unit of area through which they're passing. A large number of flux lines per unit area means a high field density. High flux density means the magnetic field is strong compared to a field where the flux lines are not as close together.
At what degree does a conductor have to pass through a magnetic field to get maximum induced current?
The induced current is maximum when the axis of the conductor, its velocity, and the magnetic field lines are all mutually perpendicular.
What are the lines called that map out the magnetic field around magnetic?
They are called the magnetic field lines.
Where do magnetic field lines cross?
Magnetic field lines don't cross.
A loop of wire is placed in a uniform magnetic field.In which orientation of the loop is the magnetic flux linked with it maximum?
1. The orientation giving the maximum magnetic flux would be 90 degrees or perpendicular to the magnetic field because that gives the maximum amount of magnetic field lines able to pass through the area of the coil. The greater density of field lines gives a greater magnetic field. The orientation that would give a magnetic flux of zero is the plane of the coil to be parallel to the magnetic field, making no lines pass through the coil and thus no flux.
A magnetic field is described by magnetic lines of?
Lines of Force
