Question 29
H

When plotting a field line, the compass is moved so that the tail of the needle sits on the dot marking the previous head. Why is this done?

[1]
A

So that the dots are spaced out evenly along the whole field line

B

So that the joined dots follow the field direction at each point

C

So that the needle always points towards the north pole of the magnet

D

So that the field line always ends at the pole where it started from
