@qwerty Yes I did go through it, and I understand that they not intersecting, but I want to know if it is reasonable enough to say that the reason is a correct explanation or not...

I was wondering if the reason is a correct explanation or not, many on YouTube say its not, but I was thinking that it seems to link to the fact that Magnetic fields are vector fields, which seems to be a correct reason?

hello! I am a highschooler and I've recently had this question in my exam: `Assertion (A): Magnetic field lines around a bar magnet never intersect each other.
Reason (R): Magnetic field produced by a bar magnet is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction.

A) Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion.
B) Both assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion.
C) The assertion is true, but the reason is false.

I am wondering if the reason is the correct explanation or not, according to me it is since it seems to be pointing towards the fact that magnetic fields are vector fields and that is the underlying reason for the field lines to never intersect...

can I get some help to think through this "Assertion (A): Magnetic field lines around a bar magnet never intersect each other.
Reason (R): Magnetic field produced by a bar magnet is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction."
