Why do magnetic field lines never intersect?

1

It is a property of magnets

2

It would imply multiple directions for the field

3

They are always circular

4

They are too faint to see

Answer and Solution

Answer

B. It would imply multiple directions for the field

Solution:

Magnetic field lines do not intersect because if they did, it would suggest that the compass needle points in two different directions at that point, which is impossible. The other options do not accurately explain the behavior of magnetic field lines.
