Describe the properties of magnetic flux.

What will be an ideal response?


There is no insulator for magnetic flux; it passes through all materials. Lines of force are closed loops passing through the magnet and the space around it. The loops, formed by the lines of force, tend to become larger and increase in length as they develop away from the magnet. Lines of force have direction. They emerge from the N pole and enter the S pole. Lines of force never cross one another. Lines of force concentrate at the poles and develop maximum field strength there. Large numbers of flux lines are easily established in magnetic materials, but are difficult to establish in nonmagnetic materials such as air.
