No two magnetic lines of force can intersect. Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The two magnetic field lines can never intersect each other because two tangents can be drawn from that point of intersection which will give two directions of the field from the same point, which is impossible.
So, the two magnetic field lines can never intersect each other.
