how do you trace the magnetic field lines around a bar magnet using compass needle? Explain. Write the properties of magnetic field lines​

Answer»

ANSWER:

Magnetic fields can be mapped out using SMALL PLOTTING compasses:

place the plotting compass NEAR the magnet on a piece of paper

mark the direction the compass needle points

move the plotting compass to many DIFFERENT positions in the magnetic field, marking the needle direction each time

join the points to show the field lines

The needle of a plotting compass points to the south pole of the magnet.
