"The relative strength of the magnetic field is shown by the degree of the closeness of the field lines.The field is stronger that is the force acting on the pole of the another magnet placed is greater where the field lines are crowded." explain.
Dear Student
The direction of the magnetic field is taken to be the direction in which a north pole of the compass needle moves inside it.
Therefore, it is taken by convention that the field lines emerge from north pole and merge at the south pole (note the arrows marked on the field lines in the diagram). Inside the magnet, the direction of field lines is from its south pole to its north pole.
Thus, the magnetic field lines are closed curves.
The relative strength of the magnetic field is shown by the degree of closeness of the field lines(The degree of closeness of magnetic field lines near the poles signifies crowding of magnetic field lines which indicates that magnetic field in that region is strong).
The field is stronger, that is, the force acting on the pole of another magnet placed is greater where the field lines are crowded (see diagram).
No two field-lines are found to cross each other. If they did, it would mean that at the point of intersection, the compass needle would point towards two directions, which is not possible.
