magnets where the magnetic field lines intersect? If yes, where? If no, why? There are no regions in the magnetic field where the magnetic field lines intersect. Simply because, at any point, NET magnetic force is along the tangent to the field line passing through the point. Now 'NET' magnetic force has a unique direction, so only one line can pass through any given point; an intersection pair would mean two possible directions of force, which is impossible. 2. What does the digital balance reading represent? What does the number of magnets represent? What is the relationship between the two? The digital balance reading represents the magnetic force. The number of magnets represents the magnetic field intensity. The relationship between them is that, the more magnets, the greater magnetic force it will have.
3. What orientation of the magnetic field
gives minimum and maximum magnetic force respectively? The magnitude of the magnetic force on a moving charge is given by Fm = qvBsin, where q is the charge of the particle, v is the velocity, B is the magnetic field and is the angle between v and b. The magnetic force has a maximum value when = 90 (the particle moves perpendicularly to the field lines). The magnetic force has a minimum value when = 0 (the particle moves parallel to the field lines).
