Question 16

A technician is marking the magnetic field direction at one point in the air gap of a horseshoe magnet. At this point, the force on a north pole would be towards the left, while the force on a south pole would be towards the right.

The technician should mark the magnetic field direction with:

[1]
A

one arrow pointing right, in the direction of the force on the south pole

B

no arrow, because the two poles experience forces in opposite directions

C

one arrow pointing left, in the direction of the force on the north pole

D

two arrows pointing left and right, one for each of the two poles
