📊 Magnetic Field Patterns
Figure 1: Magnetic field lines around a bar magnet — lines emerge from north, curve around, and enter south pole.
RULES for drawing field lines:
- Field lines go from NORTH to SOUTH (outside magnet)
- Arrows show direction a north pole would move
- Closer lines = STRONGER field
- Lines never cross
- Field strongest at the poles
