Physics · JEE | Magnetism and Matter

Given below are two statements: Statement I: The magnetic field lines of a magnet do not intersect, because otherwise the direction of the magnetic field would not be unique at the point of intersection. Statement II: Cutting a bar magnet in half transverse to its length yields two smaller magnets, each with a north and a south pole. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

1. A
   Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
2. B
   Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
3. C
