hard Q10 of 15
General Science - Physics (Basics)
Which of the following statements about magnetic field lines is incorrect?
AMagnetic field lines never intersect
BMagnetic field lines emerge from the north pole and enter the south pole
CMagnetic field lines are closer where the magnetic field is weaker
DMagnetic field lines form closed loops
Step-by-Step Solution
  1. Step 1: Understand magnetic field lines properties

    The question asks to identify the incorrect statement about magnetic field lines.
  2. Step 2: Analyze each statement

    Magnetic field lines never intersect (true), they emerge from north and enter south pole (true), they form closed loops (true). The statement that lines are closer where the field is weaker is incorrect; lines are closer where the field is stronger.
  3. Step 3: Confirm incorrect statement

    Therefore, the incorrect statement is that magnetic field lines are closer where the magnetic field is weaker.
  4. Final Answer:

    Magnetic field lines are closer where the magnetic field is weaker → Option C
  5. Quick Check:

    Magnetic field lines closer = stronger field ✅
Quick Trick: Closer lines mean stronger magnetic field.
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Assuming closer lines indicate weaker magnetic field.
