Why cannot two magnetic field lines cross each other?
Answer :
If two magnetic field lines cross each other and a magnetic needle is kept at that point, it will show two directions of the magnetic field at that point. It is impossible for a magnetic field to have two or more directions at a point, so two magnetic field lines cannot cross each other.
