Solution
Important properties of magnetic field lines due to a bar magnet:
- Field lines form a close loop
- Field lines do not intersect
- Degree of the closeness of lines represents the relative strength of the field in regions
- The direction of a magnetic field at a point is along the tangent to a line at that point

Two bar magnets are placed close to each other with their opposite poles facing each other. In absence of other forces, the magnets are pulled towards each other and their kinetic energy increases. Does it contradict our earlier knowledge that magnetic forces cannot do any work and hence cannot increase kinetic energy of a system?
