how are magnetic field lines of a bar magnet drawn. two field lines are never found to intersect each other. give reason to justify this statement.

  • Magnets have two types of poles: north poles and south poles.
  • The magnetic strength at the pole is the strongest.
  • When a bar magnet is suspended freely in a horizontal position, the bar magnet will align itself in north-south direction, where the north pole of the magnet points to the north pole of the Earth.

Electric lines, at any point, indicate the direction of the electric field. If electric lines intersect, then at a single point, there would be two electric lines, that is, two directions of electric field. But, at one point, there cannot be two directions of electric field. So, electric lines cannot intersect each other.
Similarly with magnetic lines. They indicate the direction of magnetic field. And again, there cannot be two directions of magnetic field at one point.

hello,
Debasmita dash
no, field-lines are found cross to each other.if they did it would mean that the point of intersection the compass needle would point towards two  directions which is not  POSSIBLE .
