Question
Read the following statements and choose the correct option.I. The magnetic field at north pole of a bar magnet is greater than the magnetic field at the south pole of it.II. The magnetic field at south pole of a bar magnet is greater than the magnetic field at North pole of it.III. Inside the bar magnet, magnetic field lines run from its south pole to north pole.A Only I is correct B Only III is correct C Both II and III are correct D Both I and II are correct
Solution
The correct answer is B. Only III is correct.
Explanation:
I. The magnetic field at the north pole of a bar magnet is not greater than the magnetic field at the south pole of it. The magnetic field strength is the same at both poles.
II. Similarly, the magnetic field at the south pole of a bar magnet is not greater than the magnetic field at the north pole of it. The magnetic field strength is the same at both poles.
III. Inside the bar magnet, magnetic field lines do run from its south pole to north pole. This is a correct statement.
Therefore, only statement III is correct.
