Question

    When is the magnetic field strength considered strongest?

    A When no field lines are visible Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B When field lines are widely spaced Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C When field lines are crowded Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D When field lines are curved Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The strength of a magnetic field is indicated by the density of its field lines. The closer the field lines are (i.e., more crowded), the stronger the magnetic field in that region. The field is generally strongest near the poles of a magnet.
