What are magnetic field lines and how do they show the strength of a magnet?
Magnetic fields are bascially lines of force caused by magnetic poles. It is invisible, but you can track how the field lines are formed doing a small experiment. Spread some iron fillings on a tray. Then bring a magnet up close to the iron fillings but not too close. You can observe that the iron fillings move into the field lines of the magnet that you brought up close. That's a miniature of a magnetic field. The earth's magnetic field is much bigger.
What type of magnetic field lines represent uniform magnetic field?
straight parallel lines
Which is true of magnetic field lines but not electric field lines?
they show wich way iron shavings would align themselves They always make closed loops. Electric field lines can either form closed loops or they can start and finish on isolated electric charges. Magnetic field lines always only form closed loops.
A current in a long straight wire produces a magnetic field. These magnetic field lines?
The magnetic field lines are arranged circularly around the wire.
What is a magnetic field made up of?
Magnetic field is made up of magnetic lines.
Why are magnetic field lines closed and continues curves?
Among the field lines generated by a circle current, the one which passes the center is not closed. --JF Hu
Is magnetic field lines continuous?
Magnetic field lines are continuous. The lines outside the magnet go from north to south, while inside goes from south to north creating a closed loop. This is because there are no magnetic monopoles.

What would happen if field lines crossed?
Then, at some point, the field would go into two directions simultaneously, which doesn't make much sense. The magnetic field lines form continuous closed loops.The tangent to the field line at a point represent the direction of the net magnetic field B,at that point.The magnetic field lines do not intersect,if they did, the direction of the magnetic field would not be unique at the point of intersection.
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.
How are magnetic field lines arranged?
Magnetic field lines spread out from one pole, curve around the magnet, and return to the other pole.. . ah, they don't actually spread out from the poles, inside the magnet they are bunched together but they still form closed loops with the lines outside.
A magnetic field is described by magnetic lines of?
Lines of Force
