The magnetic lines of force inside a bar magnet
- Aare from north-pole to south-pole of the magnet
- Bdo not exist
- Cdepend upon the area of cross-section of the bar magnet
- Dare from south-pole to north-pole of the Magnet
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
-
Recall the nature of magnetic field lines
Magnetic field lines form closed continuous loops.
- Outside a bar magnet, they go from north pole to south pole.
- Therefore, inside the bar magnet, they must return from south pole to north pole.
-
Evaluate each option
A: "are from north-pole to south-pole of the magnet"
- This is true for the field lines outside the magnet, not inside.
- So, A is incorrect.
B: "do not exist"
- Magnetic field exists both inside and outside the magnet.
- So, B is incorrect.
C: "depend upon the area of cross-section of the bar magnet"
- The direction of magnetic field lines inside a bar magnet does not depend on cross-sectional area.
- So, C is incorrect.
D: "are from south-pole to north-pole of the Magnet"
- This matches the correct direction of magnetic field lines inside the bar magnet.
- So, D is correct.
-
Final answer
The magnetic lines of force inside a bar magnet are from south pole to north pole.
Hence, the correct option is:
