Field line question?
« on: 14/01/2018 12:53:21 »
I have not forgot my other thread but I have a question about something. 


Hypothetical if we could hold a super strong opposite sign magnetic field above the North pole, would the field lines that go south be redirected and become less curved?

    I think great confusion would result if you started waving a south pole magnet about because everybody would want one. You can, however, get an approximation if you hold two bar magnets apart above a bed of iron filings.

    Thank you and good experiment.
