Answer:

B. They show the pattern made by the magnetic field lines around the

magnets

Step-by-step explanation:

Using iron fillings, the pattern of the magnetic field lines around a bar magnet can be known.

Magnetic field lines are the line of force around a bar magnet.

  • These iron fillings will trace the pattern of the magnetic field around the magnet.
  • The domains of the iron fillings begins to align and orient with that of the prevailing magnetic field around.
  • Those areas with the strongest force will attract more fillings and those far away will attract lesser fillings.
