Characteristics of Magnetic Lines of Force

Q. What are the Characteristics of Magnetic Lines of Force?

Characteristics of Magnetic Lines of Force

1) The magnetic lines of force start from the North Pole and end at South Pole and they are continuous through the body of Magnet.

2) The Magnetic lines of force can pass more easily through Iron than air.

3) They never intersect one another.

4) They are closed curves.

5) They tend to contract longitudinally.

6) They repel each other in horizontal direction.

7) The distribution of magnetic lines is densest at the poles and goes on diminishing when going away from the poles.

8) The magnetic lines of force are continuous through the body of the magnet.
