Asked in Premeth MDCAT 2025 LR-04 — Electromagnetism, Transition Elements 2025

Magnetic field lines have a property that lines are _.

Correct answer: A. Not intersecting

  • A. Not intersecting
  • B. Intersect near south pole
  • C. Intersect near north pole
  • D. Intersect everywhere

Explanation

If magnetic field lines intersect each other, then at the intersection point there will be two directions of the same field which is not possible. Hence the field lines do not cross or intersect each other. So option A is the only correct one.

About Magnetic Flux Density

Magnetic flux density measures the magnetic force acting on a current carrying conductor or moving charge in a magnetic field. Work includes the relations B equals F divided by IL and F equals qvB, the tesla as its SI unit, field direction and the distinction between flux density and magnetic flux.
