No. That would mean that the force vector at some point (the point where the lines cross) goes in two directions at the same time - doesn't make much sense.

Can electric field lines cross?

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 works because of 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 actual lines exist.


What are magnetic lines of force called?

Magnetic lines of force are called magnetic field lines.


Magnectic field lines of force will not go through?

Magnetic lines do not cross each other. it is natural phenomenon.AnswerMagnetic 'lines of force' do not actually exist. They simply represent a 'model' which is used to explain the behaviour of a magnetic field through the use of something we can easily understand. In this case, one of the conditions for this model to apply is that these imaginary lines of force cannot intersect.The lines do not cross because the field can not have two values at one point. There is a basic equation that says that the lines always form closed loops:div B = 0, one of Maxwell's equations describing a property of the magnetic flux density B.


A magnet with many lines of force?

A magnet with many lines of force refers to a strong magnetic field that is densely packed with magnetic field lines. These field lines represent the pathways along which the magnetic force acts, flowing from the magnet's north pole to its south pole. The density of these lines of force indicates the strength of the magnet's magnetic field.


Do electric field lines cross?

No, electric field lines do not cross each other. If they did, it would imply that there are multiple directions for the electric field at the same point, which is not possible. The electric field lines always repel or attract each other, but they never cross.

Do intersecting lines ever cross?

Intersecting lines are two lines that cross in a coordinate plane. So, yes, intersecting lines cross.


Does lines of force cross?

no according to the law governing forces,it shows that lines of forces can not cross each other


Can parallel lines ever cross each other?

No, parallel actually means that the lines will never touch or cross


Will perpendicular lines ever cross on the same plane?

If two lines are perpendicular, they intersect at a right angle. So yes, they will always cross each other.

How is perpendicular lines similar to intersecting lines?

Perpendicular lines are lines that cross at right angles. Intersecting lines can cross at any angle.

Two lines cross or intersect at a point.


What are straight lines that never cross called?

Straight lines that never cross are called parallel lines.


Can skew lines cross?

Skew lines can refer to non-coplanar lines and, if that is the case, they cannot cross.
