Why don't 2 contour line never cross each other?

because the world would explode


What are properties of contour?

they do not cross each other


What are two things that contour lines cannot do?

Contour lines can never touch each other, and they can never just stop, they have tonot go off the page or connect.


Why can't two contour lines overlap?

Contour lines represent points of equal elevation on a map, so if two contour lines were to overlap, it would mean that the same point on the map has two different elevations, which is not physically possible. Each contour line must represent a single unique elevation value to accurately depict the terrain's topography.

Why are Electric liens of forces never cross?

The electric liens of forces always emit from positive charge and do not cross each other because they are Carry same charges and the repel each other.


Two lines that never intersect?

The answer would be parallel lines these lines never meet or cross each other.


Why can contour lines never intersect?

Perhaps we should start by suggesting that there really are no "lines" in an electric field (or in a magnetic field, for that matter). The "lines of force" are a convention that allows us to visualize the field. But if there were lines, they would not cross because each one is a line of force in the field, and force is affected by other force in a way that prevents the lines from crossing. The force of one line will "push off" the force of another line, and the two will "avoid" each other.Though the lines may not be real, the force of the field is real. This "arms" each line of force with "energy" to "situate" itself relative to other lines of force. The lines of force all "conspire" or "work together" to give a "net effect" to the field; the field is formed as a direct result of the "sum" of the "individual act" of each line. But they do not "cross" each other to do this. Which is pretty amazing since individual lines don't exist.We've arrived back where we started, or so it might seem. But the lines of force, though they may not exist, are part of a real field of force about the electrified object. They interact as forces (because they are each an individual expression of the field) and will not be able to interfere with one another. As a parting shot, consider that the lines of force might follow the basic tendency of things in nature to assume their lowest energy level, and will see "crossing" as requiring extra energy. They (the lines of force) simply want to "snuggle up" along side each other to create the field.
