What is along the earths magnetic lines?
opposing magnets i guess?
What does the relative density of lines of a magnetic field tell us about the strength of the field?
The closer the lines the stronger the magnetic field.
What is used to represent magnetic field lines on a diagram?
Curved lines are used to represent magnetic field lines. The closer together they are, the stronger the magnetic field. Arrows are added to show the direction a north pole would move if placed at that point.
A magnetic field is described by magnetic lines of?
Lines of Force
What is meant by electric field intencity?
An electric field can be represented diagrammatically as a set of lines with arrows on, called electric field-lines, which fill space. Electric field-lines are drawn according to the following rules: The direction of the electric field is everywhere tangent to the field-lines, in the sense of the arrows on the lines. The magnitude of the field is proportional to the number of field-lines per unit area passing through a small surface normal to the lines. Thus, field-lines determine the magnitude, as well as the direction, of the electric field. In particular, the field is strong at points where the field-lines are closely spaced, and weak at points where they are far apart. Electric Field intensity It was stated that the electric field concept arose in an effort to explain action-at-a-distance forces. All charged objects create an electric field which extends outward into the space which surrounds it. The charge alters that space, causing any other charged object that enters the space to be affected by this field. The strength of the electric field is dependent upon how charged the object creating the field is and upon the distance of separation from the charged object. In this section of Lesson 4, we will investigate electric field from a numerical viewpoint - the electric field strength.

What does it mean when the field lines are close together?
It means that the magnets are closer together
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.
Which is true for both magnets and charges?
The field lines do not cross
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.
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.
A magnets field lines always start near the magnets?
The field lines have no start or stop. They form closed loops and can never cross. The field lines are found inside and outside the magnet. From the point of view looking from inside the magnet the field lines appear to be (say) S to N, while outside the lines appear to be N to S. ( you could choose the opposite convention) +-->---| S inside -->--------- N | --- outside-->-+ +-----------<-----------<-----------<---------------<-+
What do lines represent in an electric field diagram?
The lines in each diagram represent an electric field. The stronger the field, the close together the lines are.
Are magnetic field lines perpendicular to magnets?
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).
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 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.
What do lines represent in an electirc field diagram?
The lines in each diagram represent an electric field. The stronger the field, the close together the lines are.
