The diagram shows the magnetic field lines in the region between two magnetic poles, P P\,P and QQQ. A neutral point is located at NNN, and point X X\,X lies on the line of symmetry directly above NNN.

Magnetic field lines

Which of the following correctly identifies the polarities of poles P P\,P and QQQ, and the direction of the resultant magnetic field at point XXX?

P: North; Q: North; Direction of magnetic field at X: Vertically upwards

P: South; Q: South; Direction of magnetic field at X: Vertically downwards

P: North; Q: North; Direction of magnetic field at X: Vertically downwards

P: South; Q: South; Direction of magnetic field at X: Vertically upwards
