5. Which statement about how we observe magnetic fields is false? Points are used to represent it. Elliptical figures are formed on the sides of the magnetic object. The arrows point toward the negative poles. The arrows always indicate moving outwards from positive poles.

The false statement about how we observe magnetic fields is: "The arrows point toward the negative poles."<br /><br />In reality, the arrows in a magnetic field diagram point from the north pole to the south pole, indicating the direction of the magnetic force. The arrows do not point toward the negative poles but rather away from the north poles and toward the south poles.
