      Use (i) the Ampere's law for  and (ii) continuity of lines of  , to conclude that inside a bar magnet, (a) lines of  run from the N pole to S pole, while (b) lines of  must run from the S pole to N pole.

    Answer:

                      Consider a magnetic field line of  through the bar magnet as shown in Fig. 3(EP). 17. It must be a closed loop. Let C be the amperian loop. Then                                   (i.e., positive) It is so because the angle between  and is less than 90° inside the bar magnet. So  is positive. Hence, the lines of  must run from S pole to N pole inside the bar magnet. According to Ampere's law, As  so   (i.e., negative) It will be so if angle between  and  is more than 90°, so that cos  is negative. It means the line of must run from N pole to S pole inside the bar magnet.
