Why two electric lines of force do not cross each other ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

If two magnetic field lines cross each other, then at the point of intersection (P), there will be two tangents, which represent two directions of magnetic field at the same point, which is not possible. Hence, two magnetic field lines never cross each other.
