A student is investigating the magnetic field around a bar magnet. They are provided with a bar magnet, a sheet of paper, a pencil, and a small plotting compass.
Describe the step-by-step method the student should use to plot a complete magnetic field line around the magnet using the compass and pencil.
Once the magnetic field lines are plotted, they are drawn as a continuous pattern representing the magnetic field. State three rules or features that must be followed when drawing these magnetic field lines to represent the magnetic field accurately.
