Why 2 magnetic fields cannot cross each other?

Answer 1

the tangent at any point on an electric field line gives the direction of the field at that point . so if field lines intersect then electric field at will have more than1 direction which is impossible

Answer 2

Two magnetic fields cannot cross each other because each magnetic field exerts a force on charged particles within it. When two magnetic fields cross, the charged particles experience conflicting forces, leading to chaotic and unpredictable behavior. This is known as the superposition principle of magnetic fields.

Answer 3

Great question and the answer will surprise you-- Lines of force don't exist. They can't cross each other because they aren't there. The common (related) demonstration of magnetic lines of force using iron filings is due to the fact that the iron filings become little magnets and line up head to tail. If you photograph them and re-run the experiment you will see that the lines are different, which shows that they are an "artifact" of the magnetic field. No lines exist.

Answer 4

Ah but they DO! It is the action of electromagnetic lines of force (EMF) passing through a conductor that introduces current in the conductor. This is the basic principle behind electrical power generation.

Answer

The question relates to electric lines of force, not magnetic lines of force. Electric lines of force radiate perpendicularly from electric charge. As like electric charges distribute themselves evenly over the surface of a conductor, the electric lines of force radiate away from the surface of that conductor.

Answer 5

The electric lines of force never cross each other because electric field has only one direction at a given point. The direction of electric field depends upon the tangent drawn at a single point.

Answer 6

The direction of electric intensity at a point in an electric field is along the direction of the tangent at that point. The electric field at a point is the resultant of the fields created by two charges.Therefore at a point electric intensity has only one direction.Therefore no two lines can cross each other.(By Maawa Khalid contact e mail:maaawa3@gmail.com)

Answer 7

hmm.. the answer this question consider its negation what would happen if the two magnetic fields intersect ?

well , the answer is at the point of the intersection of both the fields there would be two directions for the same field which is impossible , so as our negation is proven wrong we can state that two magnetic fields cannot coincide with each other

Answer 8

The electric line of forces determine the direction of electric field from positive charge to negative charge . As at a give point there is one particular direction of force experienced by test positive charge so no line in an electric field can cross at a point because it is impossible to have two different direction of electric force at a single point in an electric field.

Answer 9

They do not intersect because if they intersect they have two tangents that means that it is showing two directions and that is not possible at all

Answer 10

If they were to cross, at the crossing point the electric field would go in two different directions, which just doesn't make sense.
