Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Based on illustrations of magnetic field lines, where could an object be placed so it would not experience a magnetic force?
A
halfway between the like poles of two magnets, because the field lines bend away and do not enter this area
B
halfway between the opposite poles of two magnets, because the field lines are the closest together
C
above the middle of a bar magnet, because the magnetic field lines are only found around the sides of the magnet
D
above a pole of a bar magnet, because the magnetic field lines either go in or go out at the end
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hence, Outside the magnet, magnetic lines of force begin at the North pole and finish at the South pole, whereas inside the magnet, lines of force go from the South to the North pole.

Detailed explanation-2: -THE MAGNETIC FORCE IS CONCENTRATED AT THE TWO ENDS OR POLES OF A MAGNET. The magnetic field of a bar magnet is strongest at either pole of the magnet. It is equally strong at the north pole compared with the south pole. The force is weaker in the middle of the magnet and halfway between the pole and the center.

Detailed explanation-3: -A magnetic field is a picture that we use as a tool to describe how the magnetic force is distributed in the space around and within something magnetic. The direction of the magnetic field lines at a place can be determined by using a compass needle.

Detailed explanation-4: -The magnetic field lines always begin from the N-pole of a magnet and end on the S-pole of the magnet. The magnetic field lines are the path along which an isolated unit north pole would move along in the field.
