WHY DON'T TWO MAGNETIC FIELD LINES INTERSECT EACH OTHER?

Aakash Thorat answered this

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.

Vikrant answered this

2 magnetic field lines do not intersect each other because if they did , then the compass would point 2 directions which is IMPOSSIBLE.therefore 2 magnetic field lines do not intersect each other

Akash answered this

also if they intersect object will experience force from 2 directions of magnet which is not possible

Vidula Chhabra answered this

If two field lines of a magnet intersect, then at the point of intersection, the compass needle points in two different directions. This is not possible. Hence, two field lines do not intersect each other.

Vidula Chhabra answered this

The compass shows different deflections/directions when placed at different points near the magnet .What does this show ?

Roshni answered this

it shows that the magnet is having a property of magnetism which make compass to deflect

Eshmeet Bakshi answered this

it is so because if two magnetic feilds will intersect each other they will give two different direction of south and north but the north pole nd south pole is only one

Vikas answered this

because each gives a separate path for north pole

Ahmed Nihal Noufel answered this

If Two Magnetic field lines would intersect then it would produce to magnectic direction, but that is not possible( a compass can only show one north pole) hence two magntic field lines never intersect.

Ashutosh Sharma answered this

this is due to the fact that a magnetic north pole can only point in one direction, but when two magnetic field lines would intersect then the north pole would point in two directions at the same time, which is not possible...........thus two magnetic field lines do not intersect each other.

Aditya Zanwar answered this

You're wrong. :P

Anshuman Avadhanam answered this

Magnetic field lines do not intersect, for if they did, the direction of the magnetic field would not be unique at the point of interection.

Prarthana answered this

if they intersect, the compass needle will move in two directions.

Sudhanshu Gupta answered this

they are paraller to each other & IIer lines never intersect each other

Priyanka answered this

becoz.....magnetic feild lines are allways parallel to each other, so they will never intersect another line.

Anshika Sharma answered this

two magnetic field lines never intersect each other because if they will intersect then will get two direction of magnetic field this can't be possible thats why the lines never intersect each other.
