Answer 1
A

INCORRECT

At point A the flux lines are not very close together. return to top























Answer 2
B

CORRECT

The field strength is the greatest where the flux lines are the closest together. At point B the flux lines are the closest. return to top



























Answer 3
C

INCORRECT

Point C is on the flux line but is not in the region where the lines of flux are closest together. return to top


























Answer 4
D

INCORRECT

At point D the flux lines are far from each other. return to top


























What's this question really asking?

This question is really asking where the magnetic flux lines the closest together. return to top
