Magnetic field lines always cross.

• True
• False

Are the magnetic field lines in the picture correct?

• Yes, because they point from north to south.

• No, because they point from north to south (they're supposed to go the other way).

• Yes, because the North pole is on the left in all pictures.

• No, because the North pole is on the left in all pictures (it's supposed to be on the right).
