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
In a bar magnet's magnetic field, field lines go from the North (N) pole to the South (S) pole. A magnetic paper clip at point A (left of N pole) will be attracted towards the N pole (or along the field line direction). The field line at A points right (towards N pole's vicinity for attraction), so the paper clip moves right.
