Question 20 (1 point)
The magnetic field lines point toward the south pole of the magnet
True
False

While it might seem intuitive, the magnetic field lines actually point away from the north pole of a magnet and toward the south pole. The direction of these lines represents the magnetic force’s direction, which can also be visualized when using iron filings or magnetic field viewers. So, in this case, the statement is False.

To clarify further, a common misconception is that the north pole of a magnet is “positive” like electric charges, leading to mixed-up interpretations of magnetic field direction. Remember, magnets are quirky like that, and understanding their fundamental nature helps clear the fog!
