How do scientist know that magnetic field originate from north always?
There are two kinds of magnetic poles. It is just a matter of convention that we *define* one of the north. Then we *define* the direction of the magnetic field to be the direction of force experienced by a test north pole. Magnetic field lines and their directions don't really exist, they can only be observed indirectly. It follows from our definition that they must originate in the north poles.
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.
Why magnetic strength is high at poles?
The answer is complicated. The simple answer is because the electron spin is aligned in the same direction. In most objects electron spin is random. In magnets most electrons are aligned with each other, creating a magnetic field. This orchestrated movement causes the field to be strongest at the poles.
Lines of longitude meet where?
Lines of longitude meet at the North and South Poles.
In which direction do longitude lines run?
Each meridian of constant longitude is a semicircle that joins the Earth's north and south poles. They stay put.
Where is the magnetic force the greatest on a magnet?
The magnetic force of a magnet is strongest at its poles. This is because the field lines of the magnetic field are most concentrated at the poles where they enter and leave the magnet. At the poles the magnetic field is strongest and the force is the greatest. The north pole is where the magnetic field lines enter the magnet. The south pole is where the magnetic field lines leave the magnet. The magnetic field lines are most concentrated at the poles. The magnetic force is greatest at the poles.
Is earths magnetic field weakest at its poles?
No, but at the poles the field (because of the orientation of the field lines) offers the least protection.
Is earths magnetic field the weakest at its poles?
No, but at the poles the field (because of the orientation of the field lines) offers the least protection.
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.
What is produced if the poles of atoms lines up in the same direction?
domains
Which direction do earths parallel lines run?
East to west. The north to south lines intersect at the poles.
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.

What is a magenetic field?
Magnetic field is the region where a magnetic material such as iron is getting influenced. When current flows through a conductor then magnetic field is created around it. Michael Faraday introduces the magnetic lines of force which are imaginary lines. These start from north pole and end at south pole. North and south poles cannot be isolated from one another. When we bring a small magnetic needle in a magnetic field it will be aligned in the direction of the magnetic field with its north-south poles parallel to the magnetic lines of force.
What is the difference between magnatic field strength and pole strength?
Pole strength is ability of poles to produce lines of force where is field strength is force which a magnetic poles experiences when places in magnetic field.
A loop of gas following the magnetic field lines between sunspots' poles is?
A prominence.
What type of field lines would two magnets make if two south poles are brought together?
This is a possible picture of the field lines. See the RELATED LINK.
