4. Magnetic lines of force due to a bar magnet do not intersect because ?

the lines need magnetic lenses to be made to interest

a point always has a single net magnetic field

the lines always diverge from a single force

the lines have similar charges and so repel each other

Answer: a point always has a single net magnetic field
