alleryWhere the field lines are crowded, the magnetic field is:
ASteadier
BStraighter
CShallower
DStronger
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Stronger
1. The closeness of the field lines shows the relative strength of the field.
2. Where the lines are crowded, the force on the pole of another magnet is greater.
3. So a crowded region means a stronger field.
