Test: Characteristics of Lines of Magnetic Flux - Electrical Engineering (EE) MCQ

Magnetic field lines will always seek the path of least resistance. It does not seek the path of zero resistance because, in practical scenarios, zero resistance is not possible.

Magnetic field lines form closed loops from pole to pole. There is no discontinuity in the magnetic flux lines.

Magnetic field lines do not cross each other because if they cross it means the there are two different directions of magnetic field in that region and that is not possible.

Magnetic field lines converge at the south pole. Field lines seem to converge at the south pole because they end at the south pole.

Magnetic field lines emerge at the north pole. Field lines seem to emerge at the north pole because they originate at the north pole.

Magnetic field lines originate at the north pole and terminate at the south pole of the magnet.

Magnetic field lines originate at the north pole and terminate at the south pole of the magnet but inside the magnet, they seem to move from south to north.

No, we cannot see magnetic flux lines as the “lines of magnetic flux” is purely an imaginary concept to understand the magnetic field clearly.

Lines of magnetic flux which are parallel to each other and in the same direction repel each other because they tend to act as like poles and like poles repel each other.

More the number of magnetic flux lines, greater is the force of the magnet. This is because the magnetic flux lines denote the strength of the field of the magnet.
