If magnetic lines of force are drawn by keeping magnet vertical, then number of neutral points will be
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
When magnetic lines of force are drawn around a vertical magnet, the neutral points occur where the magnetic field strength is zero. These points can be found in pairs above and below the magnet, as well as on either side when the magnet is vertical. Therefore, there are two neutral points in total, one on each side of the magnet at a position equidistant from it. Thus, the correct answer is two.
