Detailed Solution

The given statement is False.
Magnetic field lines:
Magnetic field lines are a graphic tool used to denote magnetic fields. They define the direction of the magnetic force on a north monopole at any given point. The density of the lines specifies the magnitude of the field. For instance, the magnetic field is more potent and congested near the poles of a magnet.
In the blow figure, the magnetic lines of the figure (a) intersect. If they intersect, then there will be two magnetic field directions at the point of intersection.
Hence figure (b) is correct.
Therefore, the correct statement would be that the magnetic field lines can never intersect.
