- A magnetic field is the region around a magnet where other magnets or magnetic materials will experience a force.
- Magnetic fields can be visualised using field lines:
- The lines all point from a north pole to a south pole. This represents the direction of the force a north pole would experience in the field.
- The strength of the field is indicated by how close together field lines are. They will be closest near to the poles of the magnet.
- Field lines should not cross or touch each other.
