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.

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 do you mean by uniform and non uniform magnetic fields?
In a uniform magnetic field the imaginary magnetic lines of force are parallel to each other. But in case of non uniform they are not parallel
How tightly packed the magnetic lines tells us?
The closer the magnetic field lines, the stronger the magnetic force in that area.
What correctly describes magnetic field lines?
The list of choices submitted with the question containsno correct description of magnetic field lines.
What type of magnetic field lines represent uniform magnetic field?
straight parallel lines
Do magnetic field lines close together indicate a weaker magnetic field?
no they are not

What do close flux lines indicate?
There is more magnetic force in that region on a particle.
A magnetic field is described by magnetic lines of?
Lines of Force
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.
What does it mean when contour lines are closer together?
Field Lines Show Magnitude and DirectionWhen the lines of the magnetic field are close together the magnetic field is strong. In a region where the line density is high, one says that it has great intensity or strength. Technically, the density of lines is proportional to the magnitude of the field.The direction that magnetic field line are oriented provides the information on the direction of the field, with the convention that the lines have arrows drawn so the lines exit from the North pole of a permanent magnet, or equivalently, the arrows point in the direction that the North end of a compass needle would point if placed on the line.
What is the direction of magnetic filed lines?
The direction of magnetic field lines are from north to south
What do you mean by uniform and non uniform magnetic fields?
In a uniform magnetic field the imaginary magnetic lines of force are parallel to each other. But in case of non uniform they are not parallel
