  • A. An isolated magnetic pole
  • B. Static electric charge
  • C. Nonmagnetic substance
  • D. Current loop

Explanation: A current loop, such as a wire carrying electric current in a circular path, creates a magnetic field around it.

Correct answer: Current loop
  • A. Lines start at north pole and ends at south pole
  • B. Lines never touch or cross each other
  • C. The lines are curved
  • D. The magnetic field is strongest when the lines are farthest.

Explanation: Option D is Incorrect because the magnetic field is strongest where the lines are closest together, indicating a higher field strength.

Correct answer: The magnetic field is strongest when the lines are farthest.
