Are the magnetic field lines closed? Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

1) Magnetic field lines are closed.
2)If we observe the field lines formed by a current carrying straight wire circular field lines are found. They are closed circles.
3) IF we observe the field lines by a current carrying solenoid the field lines out side the solenoid are continuous with those inside.
4) Thus the magnetic field lines are closed loops.
