electromagnetism - Can the magnetic lines of force of two or more magnets intersect each other?


Basic property of magnetic lines of force is that, they can never intersect each other. Among the two points given below, which one is correct?



  • Magnetic lines of force of same magnet can't intersect each other, but magnetic lines of force of different magnets can intersect each other.

  • Magnetic lines of force can't intersect each other irrespective of their origin (i.e whether the lines were of same magnet or different magnets, they can't intersect)


Suppose I have two bar magnets. If I tend to make the repelling poles join together by exerting force (i.e, if I tend to make north pole of two magnets, or south pole of two magnets join together). Would the magnetic lines of force intersect each other?
