Why do magnetic lines of force never intersect?

Physics
2 answers:
Kryger [21]3 years ago

If the magnetic lines of force intersected each other, then that would violate the laws of physics.

If the lines intersected, then at the point of intersections there would be two directions of magnetic field force, and this cannot defy the laws of physics, so therefore it does not happen.

A good example of this would be if you had a compass and you tried to use it to view the field direction. If you had two lines of force intersecting, then the compass would have to point in both directions, and that can't happen both theoretically and through observation.

An event like that would generate a monopole, which is an impossible, theoretical magnetic event.

<span>Magnetic field 'lines' were invented by people, to have a visualization of the
magnetic field.  We draw 'lines' to show the direction of the force that a tiny
test magnet would feel if it were at any point in the field, and the direction
it would move from there. 

If 'lines' crossed, then there would be a point in the field where a tiny test
magnetic would feel a force in two different directions, and it would have a
choice of which way to go from there.  That doesn't happen.</span>

I don't know what you mean about which changes occurred in this process but if its why the dough starts rising then its caused by the carbon dioxide in baking soda and yeast which is a fungus

The elastic portion of the downward-sloping straight-line demand curve lies:_______
zepelin [54]

Answer:

c. above the point of unit elasticity.

Explanation:

The elastic portion of the downward-sloping straight-line demand curve lies above the point of unit elasticity. Supply and demand are fundamental concept in economics. The demand curve shows how much of a good people will want at a different prices. The demands curves illustrates the intuition why people purchase a good for a lower price. For the demand curve, the price is always shown on the vertical axis and the demand curve is shown on the horizontal axis. Thus , the quantity demanded increases as the price gets lower. However, the price elasticity of the demand curve varies along the demand curve. This is because there is a key distinction between the gradient and the elasticity. The gradient which is the slope of the line is always the same in the demand curve but elasticity of the demand changes in the percentage of the quantity demand. Therefore, elasticity will vary along the downward-sloping straight - line demand curve. So,  in a downward-sloping straight-line demand curve, the elastic portion is usually above the  point of unit elasticity
