When field lines are close together, it indicates that the magnitude of the field is stronger in that region. The closer the field lines, the stronger the field intensity. This can help visualize the strength and direction of the field in a particular area.

What does it mean when the field lines are close together?

It means that the magnets are closer together


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.


Which is true of magnetic field lines but not electric field lines?

they show wich way iron shavings would align themselves They always make closed loops. Electric field lines can either form closed loops or they can start and finish on isolated electric charges. Magnetic field lines always only form closed loops.


What is a definition of magnetic field lines?

The magnetic lines of force are not real, they are imaginary lines of force which we draw using a north pole. We can draw as many as we desire using a different starting point for our drawing of lines of force. (Of course, we say that we say that when the strength is more we draw the lines closer and when it is less, we draw them sparse, but it is still subjective, one can start at a different point and draw as many lines .how can we depend on the number of lines for the definition of flux? Is there no better definition? We can straight forward define it as perhaps which is less ambiguous.


What do you mean by electric flux?

Electric flux measures the flow of electric field through a surface. It is defined as the dot product of the electric field and the normal to the surface, integrated over the surface area. It represents the number of electric field lines passing through a given area.

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.


If contour lines are close together does the land rise steeply or gradually?

If the contour lines on a topographic map are close together, that area is a steep slope. If the contours have wide spaces in between then the terrain is relatively flat. Many close contour lines mean the elevation is changing rapidly.


What does it mean when lines are close together on a topographic map?

If the lines are contours - it signifies that the land is steeper the closer the lines are drawn


Contour lines very close together indicate the land is?

If the contour lines on a topographic map are close together, that area is a steep slope. If the contours have wide spaces in between then the terrain is relatively flat. Many close contour lines mean the elevation is changing rapidly while sparse contour lines mean elevation changes very little.


When the lines on a map are close together what does that mean?

The lines on the map signify the height of a hill. The closer together they are the steeper the hill. At various points on these lines there may be numbers, these show the gradient of the hill... hope that helps!


What does it mean when contour lines merge at certain places?

contour lines don't merge. they may get very close together so it looks like they're merging though, this just means that it is very steep.


What does it mean when lines converge?

It means that they come together and intersect.


What does neck to neck mean?

What does the idiom closed ranks mean?

It's a military term. The ranks are the lines of soldiers, and if you close them up, you move everyone in together to form a solid mass of soldiers that is hard to penetrate. This figuratively means that everyone banded together to repel an "enemy."
