List the properties of magnetic field lines.
ScienceClass 10CBSEAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
Solution:
The properties of magnetic field lines are as follows:
- Magnetic field lines do not intersect with each other.
- They emerge from the North Pole and terminate at the South Pole.
- Inside the magnet, the direction of the field lines is from the South Pole to the North Pole.
