Lines of Force from a Bar Magnets Magnetic Field

However, magnetic flux does not actually flow from the north to the south pole or flow anywhere for that matter as magnetic flux is a static region around a magnet in which the magnetic force exists. In other words magnetic flux does not flow or move it is just there and is not influenced by gravity. Some important facts emerge when plotting lines of force:

Lines of force NEVER cross.

Lines of force are CONTINUOUS.

Lines of force always form individual CLOSED LOOPS around the magnet.

Lines of force have a definite

DIRECTION from North to South.

Lines of force that are close together indicate a STRONG magnetic field.

Lines of force that are farther apart indicate a WEAK magnetic field.
