Magnetic field patterns
Physics · Secondary 3 · Medium · Magnetic field patterns
Two diagrams show magnetic field lines around identical-sized bar magnets, drawn to the same scale. In Diagram X, the field lines near the poles are close together. In Diagram Y, the field lines near the poles are much further apart. What can you conclude about the field strength near the poles?
- The field near the poles is stronger in Diagram X than in Diagram Y
- The field near the poles is stronger in Diagram Y than in Diagram X
- The field strengths near the poles are equal in both diagrams
- No conclusion can be made from the spacing of field lines
