Magnetic lines of force never intersect ...

Magnetic lines of force never intersect each other . What is the reason ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The direction of the magnetic field is given by the direction of the tangent drawn to the line of force. If two lines of force intersect, at the intersecting point there will be two directions for the field . This is not possible since field is unidirectional.
