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 best describes magnetic field lines?

Magnetic fields are produced because of moving electric charges, and visualizing the very complex mathematical relationships that fall under the magnetic field might become much easier if magnetic field lines were used. A higher density of field lines means a stronger magnetic field. Keep in mind that those lines do not actually exist; they are drawn only to visualize the strength of the magnetic field.


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.


Choose the best description of a magnetic field line AMagnetic field lines always point north BA magnetic field line shows the direction a compass needle would point CMagnetic field lines?

From that list, I'll have to go with 'B'.


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.

Do magnetic field lines close together indicate a weaker magnetic field?

No, magnetic field lines close together indicate a stronger magnetic field, while magnetic field lines farther apart indicate a weaker magnetic field. The density of field lines represents the strength of the magnetic field in that region.


How tightly packed the magnetic lines tells us?

The density of magnetic field lines indicates the strength of the magnetic field. More closely packed lines suggest a stronger magnetic field, while widely spaced lines suggest a weaker field in that region. The direction of the magnetic field is indicated by the orientation of the field lines.


What are the lines called that map out the magnetic field around magnetic?

They are called the magnetic field lines.


A current in a long straight wire produces a magnetic field. These magnetic field lines?

form concentric circles around the wire, with the direction given by the right-hand rule (curl your fingers in the direction of the current, and your thumb points in the direction of the magnetic field). The strength of the magnetic field decreases as you move further away from the wire.


What three features do magnetic field lines show?

Magnetic field lines show the direction of the magnetic field, the magnitude of the magnetic field (closeness of the lines), and the shape of the magnetic field around a magnet or current-carrying wire.


Where do magnetic field lines cross?

Magnetic field lines don't cross.


Are the lines that map out the magnetic field around a magnet?

The lines that map out the magnetic field around a magnet are called magnetic field lines. These lines indicate the direction of the magnetic field and its strength at different points around the magnet. Magnetic field lines are closest together where the magnetic field is strongest and they form closed loops that do not intersect.


What Magnetic field lines are closest together at the what?

The magnetic field lines are closest together at the poles of a magnet. This is where the magnetic field is strongest and the lines are most concentrated.


In what part of the magnetic field are the magnetic field lines closet together?

Magnetic field lines are closest together at the poles of a magnet, where the magnetic field is strongest. This is where the magnetic force is most concentrated.


What are magnetic lines of force called?

Magnetic lines of force are called magnetic field lines.


What does crowding of magnetic field lines indicate?

Crowding of magnetic field lines indicates a stronger magnetic field in that area. The density of magnetic field lines is directly related to the strength of the magnetic field in a particular region. This can be observed in areas near magnetic poles or strong magnets.


What are the lines called that the map out the magnetic field around a magnet?

They are called the magnetic field lines.
