Figure 1 shows the magnetic field in the gap between two parallel, flat magnetic pole faces, labeled N and S.
Which two statements are true for the magnetic field shown in Figure 1?
- A: The magnetic field in Region X is uniform because the field lines are parallel and equally spaced.
- B: The magnetic field strength in Region Y is greater than in Region X because the field lines are longer and curved.
- C: Magnetic field lines point from the South pole (S) to the North pole (N) across the gap.
- D: The magnetic field in Region Y is non-uniform because both the direction and spacing of the field lines vary.
- E: The magnetic field lines in Region Y would cross each other if the magnetic strength of the poles were doubled.
