$5$. Move the compass to a new position such that its south pole occupies the position previously occupied by the north pole.
$6$. Repeat this process step by step until you reach the south pole of the magnet.
$7$. Join the marked points with a smooth curve. This curve represents a magnetic field line.
$8$. Repeat the process to draw several such lines around the magnet.
