Question
Sketch the magnetic field lines for a current-carrying circular loop near its centre. Replace the loop by an equivalent magnetic dipole and sketch the magnetic field lines near the centre of the dipole. Identify the difference.

Answer

As in loop magnetic field lines pass thorough the center but in case of magnet dipole the magnetic field lines does not pass through center or even meet at center point.

Two bar magnets are placed close to each other with their opposite poles facing each other. In absence of other force the magnets are pulled towards each other and their kinetic energy increases.

Magnetic force is always normal to the velocity of a charge and therefore does no work. An iron nail held near a magnet, when released, increases its kinetic energy as it moves to cling to the magnet. What agency is responsible for this increase in kinetic energy if not the magnetic field?
