Question

The incorrect statement regarding the lines of force of the magnetic field B is:
  1. magnetic intensity is a measure of lines of force passing through unit area held normal to it.
  2. magnetic lines of force form a closed curve.
  3. inside a magnet, its magnetic lines of force move from the north pole of a magnet towards its south pole.
  4. magnetic lines of force never cut each other.

A
inside a magnet, its magnetic lines of force move from the north pole of a magnet towards its south pole.
B
magnetic lines of force form a closed curve.
C
magnetic intensity is a measure of lines of force passing through unit area held normal to it.
D
magnetic lines of force never cut each other.
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Magnetic intensity is proportional to the number of magnetic field lines.
Magnetic field lines of forces are closed curves.
Inside the magnet, field lines move from the South Pole to the North Pole.
Magnetic lines of force never cut each other.
Therefore, option C is incorrect
