A magnetic field is the invisible field of magnetic force that is exerted on substances that are sensitive to magnetism. Magnetic fields have been studied by scientists and are used in applications such as compasses and MRI equipment.

What organisms are able to sense earth's magnetic field and why?

Many (but not all) birds, fish,, insects, etc. have the ability to sense earth's magnetic field. They use this ability for navigation purposes, much as we use magnetic compases.


The area around an object that is affected by the magnetism of that object is the?

A Magnetic Force


Region around a magnet in which magnetic force can act?

Magnetic freild


A magnetic compass indicates direction because?

it aligns with the Earth's magnetic field, which points towards the magnetic North Pole. This allows the compass needle to always indicate the north-south direction for navigation purposes.


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.


What is the relationship between magnetic field strength and distance in a magnetic field?

The relationship between magnetic field strength and distance in a magnetic field is inversely proportional. This means that as the distance from the source of the magnetic field increases, the strength of the magnetic field decreases.


What does magnetism energy mean?

Magnetic energy refers to the potential energy stored in a magnetic field due to the alignment of magnetic materials or the movement of charged particles within the field. This energy can be harnessed for various purposes, such as generating electricity in generators or repelling/ attracting magnets.


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.


Does Ceres have a magnetic field?

No, Ceres does not have a magnetic field around it.


How does a ring magnet interact with the magnetic field surrounding it?

A ring magnet interacts with the magnetic field surrounding it by creating a magnetic field of its own. This magnetic field interacts with the external magnetic field, causing attraction or repulsion depending on the alignment of the magnetic poles.


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.


Is magnetic field from lodestone powerful?

Lodestone, a naturally magnetized form of magnetite, has a relatively weak magnetic field compared to artificial magnets. While it can attract small metal objects and demonstrate magnetic properties, its strength is limited and not suitable for industrial applications. The magnetic field of lodestone is often strong enough for basic demonstrations and educational purposes, but it is not considered powerful in the context of modern magnetism.
