Question
Explain why, two magnetic field lines of not intersect each other.
Solution
If two magnetic field lines intersect each other, the resultant force on the north pole, placed at the point of intersection, will be along two directions. This is not possible. Therefore, two magnetic field lines cannot intersect each other.
