Multiple Choice
20.1 Magnetic Fields, Field Lines, and Force
For a magnet, a domain refers to ______.
- the region between the poles of the magnet
- the space around the magnet that is affected by the magnetic field
- the region within the magnet in which the magnetic poles of individual atoms are aligned
- the region from which the magnetic material is mined
In the region just outside the south pole of a magnet, the magnetic field lines ______.
- point away from the south pole
- go around the south pole
- are less concentrated than at the north pole
- point toward the south pole
-
F = qvB\sin \theta
-
F = I\ell B\sin \theta
-
F = I\ell B
-
F = qvB
-
Yes. Magnetic field lines can cross each other because the points where lines intersect indicate where the field changes direction.
-
No. Magnetic field lines cannot cross each other because the points where lines intersect would indicate that the field has multiple directions.
