alleryOutside a magnet, field lines run from the:
ASouth pole to south pole
BNorth pole to south pole
CSouth pole to north pole
DNorth pole to north pole
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. North pole to south pole
1. The direction of the field is the direction a compass north pole moves.
2. By convention the field lines emerge from the north pole and merge at the south pole.
3. Inside the magnet they run from south pole to north pole.
