Based on illustrations of magnetic field lines, where could an object be placed so it would not experience a magnetic force?

halfway between the like poles of two magnets, because the field lines bend away and do not enter this area

halfway between the opposite poles of two magnets, because the field lines are the closest together

above the middle of a bar magnet, because the magnetic field lines are only found around the sides of the magnet

above a pole of a bar magnet, because the magnetic field lines either go in or go out at the end

An object placed halfway between the like poles of two magnets wouldn't experience magnetic force

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Magnetic field lines of like poles of two magnets bends away from each other. Thus the density of magnetic field lines will be very low near the poles in this case. Magnetic field density represents the strength of magnetic field.

Denser the field lines, stronger will be the magnetic field. At halfway between the like poles the field density will be almost zero. An object placed at a region of zero field density doesn't experience magnetic force.

A

In case you are confused, the answer is A
