Identify the correct statement(s) from among the following.

(a)The direction of magnetic field at a point can be found by placing a magnetic compass at that point.

(b)A freely suspended magnetic needle points in north-east direction.

(c)The magnetic field lines are denser near the poles of a magnet.

(d)Two magnetic field lines can intersect at a given point.

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (A) Both (a) and (c)

• The direction of magnetic field at a point can be found by placing a magnetic compass at that point.
  
• The magnetic field lines are denser near the poles of a magnet.
  

Information Booster:

• A magnetic field is a region around a magnetic material within which the force of magnetism acts.
• It is produced by moving electric charges or by intrinsic magnetic properties of particles like electrons.
• Magnetic fields are described by lines of force that show both the strength and direction of the magnetic force at any given point.
• The unit of measurement for magnetic field strength is the Tesla (T) in the SI system, with one Tesla being quite strong.
