Question

Choose correct option regarding magnetic lines of force

• A. Intersect near north-pole or south pole
• B. Intersect at the neutral point
• C. Never intersect each other
• D. Intersect at the midpoint of the magnet

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve the problem, we need to understand the basic properties of magnetic lines of force (also called magnetic field lines).

1. Properties of Magnetic Field Lines:
- Magnetic lines of force represent the direction of the magnetic field at different points.
- They originate from the north pole and terminate at the south pole of a magnet.
- At any point in space, the tangent to the magnetic line gives the direction of the magnetic field.

2. Key Rule:
Magnetic field lines never intersect each other. If they did, it would imply that the magnetic field has two directions at the point of intersection, which is not possible.

Final Answer:
Magnetic lines of force $ \text{never intersect each other} $
