1.	Magnetic field lines are always nearly normal to the surface of a ferromagnet at every point. (This fact is analogous to the static electric field lines being normal to the surface of a conductor at every point.) Why?
Answer» One of the reason for the fact is that, when a material has µ_r > > 1, the field lines meet the material nearly normally.
