1) Electric current-carrying wire behaves like a .
2) The unit of magnetic field strength is named the .
3) The ends of the compass needle point approximately towards and directions.
4) The end pointing towards north is called . The other end that points towards south is called .
5) Like poles , while unlike poles of magnets each other.
6) The region surrounding a magnet, in which the force of the magnet can be detected, is said to have a .
7) is a quantity that has both and .
8) It is taken by convention that the field lines emerge from and merge at the .
9) Inside the magnet, the direction of field lines is from its pole to its pole. Thus the magnetic field lines are curves.
10) No two field-lines are found to each other. If they did, it would mean that at the point of intersection, the compass needle would point towards directions, which is not possible.
