Which of the following statements are true for magnetic field lines? Check all that apply. Check all that apply. Magnetic field lines can never intersect. Magnetic field lines point in the direction of the magnetic force acting on a charge. Magnetic field lines are close together in regions of space where the magnitude of the magnetic field is weak, and they are father apart in regions where it is strong. Unlike electric field lines, magnetic field lines are continuous. At every point in space, the magnetic field vector at that point is tangent to the magnetic field line through that point.

A magnetic field is the region surrounding a magnet where its influence is felt. The strength of a magnetic field is indicated by the intensity of magnetic field lines. These lines do not cross each other and they indicate the direction of the magnetic field. The direction of the magnetic field of a charge is given by the right hand rule. If the magnetic field at a point is strong, many lines of force are seen and vice versa.

Answer:

Coreect Statements:

1. Magnetic field lines never intersect.

2. Magnetic field lines are continuous

3. At every point in space, the magnetic field vector at that point is tangent to the magnetic field line through that point.

Incorrect Statements

1. Magnetic field lines point in the direction of the force on a charge.

2. Magnetic field lines are close together in regions of space where the magnitude of the magnetic field is weak, and they are father apart in regions where it is strong

Explanation:

Correct Statements

1. Magnetic field lines never intersect because the diection of the magnetic field vector at every point in space is unique and since the magnetic field lines are always tangent to thw magntetic field vectors they never intersect.

2. Magnetic poles do not exist in isolation like positive and negative charges for which electric field lines originate from a positive charge and terminates on a negative charge. Since the magnetic poles cannot be isolated, the magnetic field lines are always continuous.

Incorrect Statements

1. Magnetic field lines do not point in the direction of the magnegic force on a charge. The direction of force on a charge is actually perpendicular to the magnetic field and hence the magnetic field line that passes through the particles position.

2. The statement is actually reversed. Regions where the field lines are close together have strong fields and regions where there far apart have weak fields.
