Beats me. But since there ARE no magnetic lines of force, don't worry about it.

Why don't two magnetic lines of force intersect each other?
because they are solid lines and they do not have space to be combining. Also the magnetic can stay together but not melt to being a diffusion (not liquid)
What is perpendicular lines what is parallel lines what is intersecting lines?
Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect at a 90-degree angle. They can be visualized as forming a right angle or "L" shape. Parallel lines, on the other hand, are lines that never intersect and always stay the same distance apart. They can be visualized as two train tracks that never meet. Intersecting lines are lines that cross or meet at a single point. They do not have to be perpendicular or parallel, and their intersection forms an angle other than 90 degrees.
Why do two parallel conductors carrying current in the same direction attract each other while two parallel conductors carrying current in the opposite directions repel each other?
because of their magnetic field lines
Why do two magnetic lines never intersect each other?
It is important to realize that magnetic lines do not really exist! They are a tool to visualize the magnetic field, but the field is continuous and does not exist solely inside lines. The direction of the lines gives the direction of the magnetic field, the density of lines, its strength. This also explains why no two field lines can ever intersect; a field line carries information about the direction of the magnetic field, if they would intersect an ambiguity would arise about the direction (not to mention a field of apparent infinite strength since the density would be infinite at the point of crossing). The field lines are almost never used in explicit calculations; instead one uses a vector, an entity which contains information about the magnitude and direction of a field in every point in space and time. Adding two magnetic fields is then easy; just add the vectors of both fields in every point in space (and time). You can use the resulting vector field to draw field lines again if you want. An easy way to imagine what would happen to field lines when they might intersect is to look at them as being such vectors. Imagine you have one field line pointing to the right, and another one pointing up. The result of adding would be a field line pointing somewhere in the up-right direction (the exact direction depending on the relative magnitudes of the fields). If the fields are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction they would cancel; the field line disappears. But this is to be expected! The magnetic fields canceled each other in that point! One has to take care with this analogy however; as for field lines the measure of magnitude is their density; which is an undefined thing if you are considering just one field line per field. For a vector however, the measure of magnitude is its length. Therefore adding two field lines of the same magnitude and pointing in the same direction would result in a vector of twice the length, but in field line language you would have to double the density at that point. This is one of the reasons field lines are used for visualization but not calculation. By the way, all these things apply to other fields as well. Electric fields can also be represented by field lines, and they as well cannot intersect (for the same reasons). Electric field lines, however, are not necessarily closed loops like magnetic field lines (this has to do with the non-existence of magnetic monopoles).
What are forces that cancel each other out called?
Forces that cancel each other out are called balanced forces.
Does lines of force cross?
no according to the law governing forces,it shows that lines of forces can not cross each other
Magnetic field lines cross each other?
No, they don't.
Is Potential energy related to gravity?
To gravity, or to one of several other forces, such as a spring, electric forces, or magnetic forces.
Does the gravity affect the magnetic force lines by space distortion?
Magnetic lines of force follow space. If space is distorted by the presence of a large gravitational field, the magnetic lines will be distorted as well. Other than near black holes, this effect is negligible.
Why don't two magnetic lines of force intersect each other?
because they are solid lines and they do not have space to be combining. Also the magnetic can stay together but not melt to being a diffusion (not liquid)
What is the imaginary line that helps us visualise a electric or magnetic field called?
They are force field lines at right angles to each other as depicted in the related link.
What do field lines show that curve toward each other show?
It has No magnetic interaction
What do you mean by uniform and non uniform magnetic fields?
In a uniform magnetic field the imaginary magnetic lines of force are parallel to each other. But in case of non uniform they are not parallel
Why can't gravity be magnetic?
Gravity and magnetism are inherently different forces. One cannot be the other.
Could a magnetic field be electrons flowing through power lines?
A magnetic field is caused by flowing currents, but the field lines are not directly related to the flow of electrons or other charged particles. They are simply an abstraction that tells you where the magnetic attraction is strongest, and in what direction it goes.
What other words can be used to describe force?
contact forces: Push, pull, friction, strain. Non-contact forces : Magnetic, gravitational and electrostatic
What is Parallel force system?
When the lines of action of all the forces are not parallel to each other is defined as non parallel forces
