Detailed explanation-1: -Magnetic field lines can never cross, meaning that the field is unique at any point in space. Magnetic field lines are continuous, forming closed loops without beginning or end. They go from the north pole to the south pole.
Detailed explanation-2: -Magnetic field lines never cross. Magnetic field lines naturally bunch together in regions where the magnetic field is the strongest. This means that the density of field lines indicates the strength of the field.
Detailed explanation-3: -The magnetic field lines never intersect each other because if two or more lines intersect each other than it means that at that point of intersection, the magnetic field has two directions at the same point. This is not possible for a magnetic field to point in more than one direction at the same point.
Detailed explanation-4: -Parallel lines will never intersect each other. The distance between the two lines is always a constant.
