Question
this model represents the magnetic field around a bar magnet. one point in the magnetic field, a, is labeled. suppose a magnetic paper clip were placed at point a. which direction would the paper clip move? right left up down
Step1: Understand magnetic field lines
Magnetic field lines show the direction of the magnetic force. A magnetic object moves in the direction of the field line at its position.
Step2: Analyze the direction of the field line at point A
Looking at the diagram, the field line at point A is directed towards the magnet (to the right as it points towards the N - pole in the diagram).
