Physics · Current loop as a magnetic dipole and its magnetic dipole moment, bar magnet as an equivalent solenoid, magnetic field lines
Magnetic field lines:
Magnetic field lines:
- A. starts from north pole
- B. starts from south pole
- C. starts from current-carrying wires
- D. are closed loops
Step-by-step solution
Magnetic field lines are continuous closed loops; they do not start or end at any point. For a bar magnet, they emerge from the north pole and enter the south pole inside the magnet, but externally they run from north to south, forming closed loops. For current-carrying wires, they form concentric closed loops around the wire. Thus, the correct statement is that magnetic field lines are closed loops.
