Explanation

**Bar magnet properties** include dipole moment m = pole strength × separation, unit A·m², field lines emerge from north and enter south outside. Lines never cross, ensuring single valued B at any point, and pattern reflects dipole nature with symmetric loops around magnet. Gauss’s law for magnetism states that the net magnetic flux through any closed surface is zero, as magnetic field lines form closed loops with no monopoles. Substituting values gives Zero, which matches expected magnitude for this magnetic configuration, confirming dipole field dependence on m/r³ and torque relation τ = m B sinθ.
