WAEC SSCE - Physics - 2000 (Objective)

Question 1 Report

The region around a magnet in which the magnetic influence is experienced is called

magnetic flux

magnetic field

magnetic meridian

magnetic declination

Answer Details

The correct answer is "magnetic field." A magnetic field is the region around a magnet or a moving electric charge where the magnetic influence or force can be felt. It is a vector field, meaning it has both magnitude and direction, and is measured in units of tesla (T) or gauss (G). In the case of a magnet, the magnetic field is strongest at the poles and weaker as you move away from them. Magnetic fields are used in many everyday applications, such as in speakers, electric motors, and MRI machines.
