Physics · Magnetic field due to a magnetic dipole (bar magnet) along its axis and perpendicular to its axis, torque on a magnetic dipole in a uniform magnetic field

Which of the following is not a property of magnetic lines of force?

Which of the following is not a property of magnetic lines of force?

  • A. They neither have origin nor end.
  • B. These lines do not intersect
  • C. outside the magnet their direction is from north pole to south pole and inside the magnet these are from south to north pole.
  • D. None

Step-by-step solution

All given statements are properties of magnetic lines of force: they form closed loops (no origin or end), they do not intersect, and outside the magnet they go from north to south, inside from south to north. Thus, none of the statements is false, making option D correct.
