If you made a map of magnetic field lines at Melbourne in Australia, then the magnetic field lines seem to be

A

go into the ground

B

come out of the ground

C

maintain a spiral path on the surface of earth

D

move on helical path above the surface of ground

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
