What is the magnetic field inside a magnet?

What is the magnetic field inside a magnet?

The magnetic field lines of a simple magnet are shown in the picture below. They point from the north pole to the south pole. However, the magnetic field lines do not just end at the tip of the magnet. They go right through it, so that inside the magnet the magnetic field points from the south pole to the north pole.

What is the direction of the magnetic field lines inside a bar magnet?

The direction of magnetic lines of force of a bar magnet is from north to south pole outside the magnet and from south pole to north pole inside the magnet as shown in figure.

Does magnetic field flows from north to south?

A magnetic field flows from the North to the South Pole in the same way that electric fields flow from positive to negative charges. Breaking a magnet in an effort to separate North and South Poles only produces smaller magnets, each one with a North and South Pole.

Are magnetic field lines uniform inside a bar magnet?

No, the magnetic field lines inside the bar magnet are non-uniform. They are curved in the nature.

Why does a freely moving bar magnet always aligns in the north south direction?

A freely suspended magnet always rests in the north-south direction because the magnetic south pole of the earth lies in the geographic north direction and the magnetic north pole of the earth lies in the geographical south direction.

Why do field lines go north to south?

A magnetic compass points to the earth’s magnetic poles, which are not the same as earth’s geographic poles. Therefore, the magnetic field lines of the earth run from the southern geographic hemisphere towards the northern geographic hemisphere.

Is north positive or negative?

On Earth, the north (positive) pole of the Earth’s magnet is in fact at its South geographic pole. A compass needle sure enough indicates North, but if you put a compass needle near a bar magnet, it points AWAY from the north (positive) pole of the bar magnet.

Is the field around the bar magnet uniform or non-uniform Why?

The magnetic field due to a bar magnet is non-uniform. The magnetic field in an area is non-uniform if it has dissimilar magnetic intensities at diverse points in the area.

What will happen when a magnetic needle is kept in a non-uniform magnetic field?

Magnetic needle is placed in non-uniform magnetic field. It experiences force and torque both due to unequal forces acting on poles.
