Where are the Magnetic field lines closest together?

The field is strongest on the poles of the magnet (the ends of the magnet). More specifically, the 8 corners of the magnet are where the strongest magnetic field will occur. The weakest field occurs in the center of the magnet.


Is a bar magnet magnetic?

A bar magnet is a magnet of rectangular shape with a north and and south end, which are sometimes coloured different colours to indicate which end is which.


Is there a scale for magnet strength?

They are bar magnet ,horse shoe magnet ,lime stone magnet.


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.


Where is a bar magnet's pull strongest?

A bar magnet is strongest at its ends, or poles. This is because there is a magnetic field, or B field, that is produced by the magnet itself. The magnetic field can be represented by magnetic field lines, which enter one end of the magnet and exit the other.For instance, in a bar magnet, the magnetic field lines emerge from the north pole of the magnet and enter the magnet at the south pole. Since a magnet has two poles, it is said to be a magnetic dipole.The magnetic field lines are most closely packed together at the poles, since it is a short distance to the opposite pole of the magnet. This is why a bar magnet is most effective at short distances. Picking up a paperclip from a centimeter or two away is much easier than trying to magnetically attract a paperclip to a magnet from a distance greater than five or six centimeters.

What do the lines around a bar magnet?

magnetic lines of force


Do field lines around a current wire look different from those around a bar magnet?

Yes. The field lines of a bar magnet emerge from one end, curve around, and stop at the other end. The field lines around a current-carrying wire are circles, with the wire passing through their centers.


Is there no magnatic lines inside a bar magnet?

On a bar magnet where are lines of magnetic force the greatest?

near both magnetic poles


Why are the poles of a bar magnet not situated at the extreme ends of the magnet?

The poles are situated at the ends of the bar magnet. The magnetic lines of force run through the magnet, emerge from one end, fold back around the length of the bar of the magnet, and curl back into the other end. The ends are the magnetic poles, and the magnetic lines of force emerge from one and re-enter the magnet at the other. You can see these lines by laying flat a piece of smooth paper over the magnet and sprinkling iron filings over the paper. Because they are light they will be easily moved into alignment by the magnetic field and will visually show the fields arrangement. (Using a piece of paper makes it easy to tidy up. Without it, the filings will stick to the magnet and be difficult to remove.)


What part of a graph tells what bar or lines represent?

the x-axies


What is the direction of the magnetic field of a bar magnet?

The field lines would leave one pole (end of the magnet) and then curve around one side to come back to the other pole in kind of a semi-oval. Picture two ovals side by side, then picture the bar magnet placed between them, overlaying the long edges of the ovals where the ovals touch. This can be observed by pouring some iron filings onto a piece of paper and then placing a bar magnet underneath the paper. The filings will line up along the field lines providing a visual picture.
