Question

at different points in the magnetic field, field lines can be close together or far apart. the magnetic field is strongest where the field lines are closest together. these models represent the magnetic fields around two magnets. complete the sentences to describe the models. the field lines in each model are closer together than they are dropdown with options: near the poles, far from the poles far from the poles. this means that the magnetic field cut off text to the poles.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the magnetic field line pattern

From the given diagrams (bar magnet and horseshoe magnet), observe the spacing of field lines. Near the poles (N and S), field lines are closer; far from poles, they are spread out.

Step2: Compare with the sentence structure

The sentence is "The field lines in each model are closer together than they are ______". We know field lines are closer near poles, so they are more spread (farther apart) far from poles. So the blank should be "far from the poles" (since closer together near poles than far from poles). Also, the magnetic field is stronger near poles (as field lines are closer), so the second part (implied) is stronger near poles. But for the first blank, based on the options and the comparison (closer near poles than far from poles), the correct fill for the first blank (after "than they are") is "far from the poles".

Answer:

far from the poles
