Why can two magnetic field lines never intersect?
AThe field direction there would be ambiguous
BThe field strength there would drop to zero
CThe field strength would become infinite
DThe total flux through it would vanish
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. The field direction there would be ambiguous
At a crossing point the field would need two different directions, but the net field has a single direction at any point.
