While researching magnetic fields, Marisa finds several online sites that describe a fictitious north monopole that is a magnet with only a north pole. Although it does not exist, the north monopole is used to describe magnetic field lines.

Which statement best describes how the monopole would be used to describe magnetic field lines?

The field lines around a magnet point from the south pole to the north pole to show the direction opposite to the magnetic force on the monopole.
The field lines around a magnet point from the south pole to the north pole to show the direction of the magnetic force on the monopole.

"The field lines around a magnet point from the north pole to the south pole to show the direction of the magnetic force on the monopole."

Explanation: by convention magnetic field lines run from north to south outside a magnet, and a (hypothetical) north magnetic monopole would feel a force along the field, so the lines indicate the force direction on a north monopole.
