Plotting Magnetic Field Lines

Front

What does the arrow (north pole) of a compass needle do when placed near the north pole of a bar magnet?

Back

Points away from the north pole of the magnet

Front

In which direction do magnetic field lines travel around a bar magnet?

Back

From the north pole to the south pole

Front

What is the reason the north pole of a compass needle points away from the north pole of a magnet?

Back

Like poles repel

Front

When a compass is placed near the south pole of a bar magnet, which way does the needle point?

Back

Towards the south pole

Front

What does the compass needle align with when placed near a magnet?

Back

The direction of the magnetic field lines

Front

Which statement is true about the attraction between the compass needle and the magnet?

Back

The north pole of the compass is attracted to the south pole of the magnet

Front

What is the main use of a compass when plotting magnetic field lines?

Back

To find the direction of the magnetic field

Front

If you move a compass around a bar magnet, what will the needle do?

Back

Align with the magnetic field lines at each point

Front

Why do magnetic field lines go from the north pole to the south pole outside the magnet?

Back

Because that is the direction of the magnetic force
