SUMMARY
The direction of the Magnetic Flux Density vector B is towards the south pole on the south side and out of the north pole on the north side. Both representations of the magnetic field are accurate, despite the presence of additional arrows in one figure. Magnetic flux density, often referred to as the magnetic field B, is defined as the magnetic flux through an area divided by that area, confirming its status as a vector quantity. This clarification emphasizes that magnetic flux density is not merely a property but a vector with a specific direction.
