Question

Assertion (A): Magnetic field lines never intersect each other.

Reason (R): If they intersect, then at the point of intersection, the compass needle would point towards two directions, which is not possible.

पर्याय

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.

• Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

Answer 1

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Explanation:

Magnetic field lines never intersect each other is true. This is because if they did intersect, it would imply that at the point of intersection, a compass needle would have to point in two different directions simultaneously, which is impossible. The reason provided explains this concept clearly and accurately, stating the impossibility of a compass needle pointing towards two directions at once due to the inherent nature of magnetic fields​.
