Why does a magnetic compass needle pointing North and South in the absence of a nearby magnet get deflected when a bar magnet or a current carrying loop is brought near it. Describe some salient features of magnetic lines of field concept.
A compass needle gets deflected when brought near a bar magnet because the needle of a compass is a magnet, which experiences a magnetic field exerted by the bar magnet.
$(i)$. The magnetic field lines represent the magnetic field around the magnetic substance or current-carrying conductor with direction and magnitude.
$(ii)$. The magnetic field lines emerge from the North pole and merge at the South pole in a closed curve.
$(iii)$. The strong magnetic field indicates that the degree of closeness of the field lines is high.
$(iv)$. Two magnetic field lines can never intersect each other.
$(v)$. A uniform magnetic field in a region is indicated by the parallel and equidistant field lines in a given region whereas converging or diverging field lines indicate the non-uniform magnetic field.
