Question

The force around a magnet can be drawn as a 2D diagram.

Solution

The two correct statements that describe the lines that show force around a magnet are:

  1. Where the lines are further apart, the magnetic force is weaker. This is because the density of the lines represents the strength of the magnetic field. So, where the lines are closer together, the magnetic field is stronger, and where they are further apart, the field is weaker.

  2. The lines have arrows that point away from the north pole, towards the south pole. This is a convention used to indicate the direction of the magnetic field. The field lines are always directed from the north pole of a magnet to its south pole.
