100

Point towards this charge

What is negative

100

How does a compass work?

It points to the earth's North magnetic pole

400
When field lines are placed farther apart?

What is a weaker force?

400
The production of an electric current by moving a magnet and a loop relative to each other is called this.

3.  Form closed loops

4. stronger magnetic field when lines are closer to each other

500

Lines are evenly spaced and parallel
