Q12 of 45 Page 301

Why do the lines of the magnetic field not cross each other?


The magnetic field line represents the direction of force at a point (along the tangent). If two magnetic field lines were to cut each other then there would be two direction of force at a point which is not practical or impossible.


If two magnetic sources are present then the magnetic field lines will repel each other but never intersect.
