Question

Which of the following statements is false?

• A. Magnetic field lines emerge out from north pole of magnet.
• B. Magnetic field lines are from south towards north pole inside the magnet.
• C. Magnetic field lines intersect each other.
• D. Magnetic field lines are closed curves.

Hint:

Magnetic field lines: - Do not intersect. - Form closed loops, always continuing from north to south pole and vice versa inside the magnet.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The magnetic field lines have the following properties:
- They emerge from the north pole of a magnet and enter the south pole outside the magnet.
- Inside the magnet, the magnetic field lines travel from the south pole to the north pole.
- Magnetic field lines do not intersect each other. If they did, it would imply that at the point of intersection, the magnetic field has two directions, which is not possible.
- Magnetic field lines are closed curves, meaning they form a continuous loop.
Thus, the false statement is (C), "Magnetic field lines intersect each other."
