Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
The magnetic field is the area around the magnet where magnetism can be experienced. The direction of the magnetic field is the direction in which the compass needle's north pole moves when it is placed inside the magnetic field. The magnetic field lines move from north to south outside the magnet and South to North inside the magnet. Thus, the direction of the magnetic field is taken to be the direction in which the North pole of the compass needle points.
