Q10 of 238 Page 73

Explain why, two magnetic field lines do not intersect each other.

As a matter of fact the resultant of forces at north pole can only be in one direction. But if magnetic field lines intersect each other then the north pole will show resultant forces in two direction, which is not possible.
