Definition
Magnetic Field is the range of the magnet in which it attracts magnetic particles. It has a magnitude and direction (Vector Quantity). The SI Unit of M.F (B) is Tesla.
M.F. of a bar magnet
Direction of Magnetic Field
The concept of magnetic field came when compasses were aligned alongside a magnet,
from which we could deduce that, at any point, magnetic field will have only one direction. It is a vector quantity, and it cannot intersect.
Pole to Pole directions
On the outside: North Pole > South Pole On the inside: South pole > North Pole
Field Lines
Field lines are used to represent a Magnetic Field. They can be used to visualise:
- The strength of the M.F.
- The direction of the M.F.
Strength and Distance
It is known that the more the distance, the weaker the M.F, thus, fewer lines will represent the area of weaker strength.
Also, we could conclude that,

Flashcards
What is a Magnetic Field? ? Magnetic Field is the range of the magnet in which it attracts magnetic particles. It has a magnitude and direction (Vector Quantity).
At any point, magnetic field will have only {{one}} direction.
Which direction (p2p) does a M.F. go in a magnet? ? On the outside: North Pole > South Pole On the inside: South pole > North Pole
What are field lines? ? Field lines are used to represent a Magnetic Field. They can be used to visualise:
- The strength of the M.F.
- The direction of the M.F.
The {{more}} the distance, the {{weaker}} the M.F.
The SI Unit of M.F is {{Tesla}}
