The direction of magnetic field lines inside a bar magnet is
A. South to North
B. Random
C. North to South
D. Same as outside
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Outside magnet, lines from North to South. Inside magnet, they go from South to North, forming closed loops. Magnetic field lines continuous, no start/end.
Explanation:
Polarization requires transverse waves (oscillations perpendicular to propagation). Light, radio waves, X-rays are electromagnetic transverse waves and can be polarized. Sound waves in air are longitudinal (oscillations parallel to propagation) and cannot be polarized. Memory tip: 'Polarization ⇒ transverse waves only; sound is longitudinal ⇒ no polarization'. This wave property question tests understanding of wave types, frequently examined in competitive exams. Always classify waves as transverse/longitudinal to determine polarization possibility; this is a common conceptual trap.
