Detailed Solution

The given statement is True.
First, we fix a magnet on a sheet of white paper (the white paper is fixed on a drawing board using some adhesive material) and mark the boundary of the magnet. Now, we place the compass near the magnet's north pole and mark the position of the two ends of the compass needle. After that, we move the compass to a new position such that the south pole of the compass needle occupies the position previously occupied by the compass needle's north pole. Then we proceed step by step until we reach the position of the magnet's south pole. Lastly, we get a smooth curve after joining the points marked on the paper. The smooth curve represents the magnetic field line.
