Summary
| Description |
English: Magnetic compasses around a cylindrical bar magnet. The compass needles point in the direction of the magnetic field of the magnet at each point, with the north (red) end of each compass needle in the direction of the magnetic field vector. The direction of each compass needle is computed from the inverse square law using the computer script below. |
