Q1 of 37 Page 102

Which of the following statements is false?

According to statement A, the direction of the magnetic field line is from N to S, which is true.

According to statement B closer the magnetic field lines stronger the magnetic field there. We can think it like magnetic field lines are very close to each other near the magnetic bar. But as we go far away they also start separating and show weak magnetic field.


According to statement C magnetic field lines always form close loop. They can never have loose ends. They always start from a pole and end up on the other pole.


But according to statement D magnetic field lines can cross each other, which is wrong. Magnetic field lines always form close loop. And at any point, magnetic field always have a certain direction but if magnetic field lines cross each other, that will result into two directions of a magnetic field on a single point which is impossible.
