Question

Suppose a bar magnet is oriented horizontally with its north end to the right and its south end to the leftAt which of the following locations does the magnetic field NOT point to the right ? (1 point )

A.in the center of the magnet between the two poles
B.Directly above the center of the magnet
C.to the right of the north pole
D.to the left of the South Pole

Answer 1

B. Directly above the center of the magnet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnetic field lines of a bar magnet emerge from the magnet's north pole and re-enter the magnet at the south pole. Therefore, the magnetic field lines point from north to south within the magnet. Based on this, we can determine that:

A. In the center of the magnet between the two poles, the magnetic field lines point from north to south and are therefore not pointing to the right.

B. Directly above the center of the magnet, the magnetic field lines point downward and to the south, so they are not pointing to the right.

C. To the right of the north pole, the magnetic field lines point to the right.

D. To the left of the south pole, the magnetic field lines also point to the right.

Therefore, the location where the magnetic field does NOT point to the right is B, directly above the center of the magnet.
