5. True or False.
______1. Lines of force never cross each other. ______2. Lines of force form complete loops. ______3. Lines of force have no direction, but for convenience, physicists have agreed to say that they move from the north to the south. ______4. The concentration of lines of force in any given area shows the intensity of magnetism in that area. ______5. Where there is uniform magnetic field, the field lines are equally spaced. ______6. When two like poles are near each other, the field lines between them repel each other thereby creating a neutral point between them. ______7. The further apart the magnetic field lines, the stronger the magnetic field.
