Solution
Properties of magnetic lines of force:-
- Magnetic lines of force (or magnetic field lines) are closed continuous curves. They start from the North Pole and end at the South Pole.
- The tangent at any point on a magnetic line of force gives the direction of the magnetic field at that point.
- No two magnetic lines of force can intersect each other.
- Magnetic lines of force are crowded where the magnetic field is strong, and they are far from each other where the field is weak.

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?
