How is direction of a magnetic field determined using field lines?

Answered by admin @



The direction of a magnetic field at a point is determined by placing a small compass needle. The N - pole of compass indicates the direction of magnetic field at that point.
The properties of magnetic field lines are as follows. Magnetic field lines emerge from the north pole and merge at the south pole.
