A uniform magnetic field is represented by a set of lines of force which are:

Correct answer: A. Parallel

  • A. Parallel
  • B. Divergent
  • C. Convergent
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Lines of force in a uniform magnetic field are parallel to each other and equally spaced. This is because the magnetic field is constant in a uniform magnetic field, so the lines of force do not need to converge or diverge.

About Electromagnetism

Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
