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.
Choose the best description of a magnetic field line A Magnetic field lines for a bar magnet are parallel to the magnet B A magnetic field line shows the direction a compass needle would?
B. A magnetic field line shows the direction a compass needle would align in a magnetic field.
Best description of a magnetic field line?
A magnetic field line is an imaginary line that represents the direction a magnetic compass would point when placed at any point in space. The lines form closed loops around a magnet or current-carrying wire, flowing from the north pole to the south pole in a continuous path. The density of field lines indicates the strength of the magnetic field.
What can we use to find the shape of a magnetic field?
We can use iron filings, a magnetic compass, or a Hall probe to find the shape of a magnetic field. Iron filings line up along magnetic field lines, a magnetic compass shows the direction of the field, and a Hall probe can measure the strength of the magnetic field at different points.
How can you use iron fillings to show the shape of a magnetic field?
You can sprinkle iron fillings near a magnet to observe the pattern of the magnetic field. The iron fillings will align along the magnetic field lines, making the shape of the magnetic field visible. This technique helps visualize the direction and strength of the magnetic field.
How does a tangent at any point on the magnetic field line show the direction of magnetic field at that point?
The tangent to a magnetic field line at any point indicates the direction of the magnetic field at that specific location. This is because the tangent line represents the direction a compass needle would point if placed at that point on the field line. The magnetic field lines themselves flow from the north pole of a magnet to its south pole, with the tangent pointing in the direction the magnetic field would act on a north pole.
What is the best description of a magnetic field line?
magnetic field line is an imaginary line showing magnetic energy between a north and south pole .

What is magnetic line of induction?
The process by which a substance, such as iron or steel, becomes magnetized by a magnetic field. The induced magnetism is produced by the force of the field radiating from the poles of a magnet.AnswerThere is no such thing as a 'magnetic line of induction'. Induction is a process, by which a changing current induces (causes) a voltage into the same conductor or an adjacent conductor.A 'line' on the other hand, is imaginary and is simply a method of modelling a magnetic field in such a way that we can visualise its shape, rather in the same way that we use contour lines to show the shape of hills, etc.

Is magnetic field line scalar or vector quantity?
Vector.
What is a property of a magnetic field?
One property of a magnetic field is that its divergence is zero. That means that a magnetic field line is always a loop and that the net magnetic field coming out of or going in to an enclosed surface is always zero. The result of this is that there are no magnetic monopoles, at least none discovered. Theories, however, do abound.
What is the name of the line with whcih a compass aligns?
The line with which a compass aligns is called the magnetic meridian. This line indicates the direction of the Earth's magnetic field at a specific location. Compasses point towards magnetic north, which is generally close to, but not the same as, true north, due to the Earth's magnetic field being irregular.
