Hi Ben,
I'll try to avoid discussion and just respond to your post. If that P's anybody off, just say the word and I am out of here.
First I did not understand your remark, as I have never seen my compass depart to the East or West. But then I realized you were not talking about the Earth's magnetic field but about that of a nearby magnet. Then for a second I must admit you managed to induce some doubt... very well done! But further analysis reveals the correct answer.
Do you have two bar magnets? If so move them slowly together sideways. You will notice that there is a strong preference to combine in a NS-NS manner instead of sideways.
The sideways attraction occurs mainly because the second magnet distorts the field of the first. This is what your iron ball experiment proves:
I already went into this in an earlier post. The iron changes into a magnet along the lines of force. Next this magnet distorts the original field, but also the magnet created in the ball continuously adapts to its new location in the field.
Proof?
The iron filings do not move to the magnet. They are so small that their magnetic field does not distort the primary magnetic field and therefore they do not experience sufficient sideways force.
Distinti gives you a correct explanation in his video. Why do I think that is correct?
Because it is in line with Faraday's induction law, and mathematically correct.
What happens in the middle of the magnet? Or better, explain what the North coil produces at both ends and what the South coil produces at both ends. And then what happens in the middle?
Next: how is a single layer coil different from those two coils that you see in a permanent magnet? Does that mean there is a way to distinguish between a PM and an EM? (without looking at it of course)
Where is your model?
So there are ideal magnets and non-ideal ones?
This strikes me as a bit of a poor response, Ben.
I can see where this is going, any magnet that obeys classical theory is not an ideal magnet. An ideal magnet obeys your/Ken's/UFO's theory, but unfortunately ideal things do not exist....
Who said "een beetje jammer"?
What surprises me is that people who do not understand the classical theories sometimes create much more complicated fairy tale theories and cling on to those as if their lifes depend on it. Then everyone who tries to explain the classical theory is a 'pedantic nay sayer', or a government paid shill, and people who do not immediately agree are not open-minded. People dumb eachother down, and create communities of fools, often led by one major fool who is a torrent of flash-words in sentences that no one understands (or some understand in their own way) and actually do not have any meaning. It does not P me off, but it does worry me, and I wonder if this development can not be curved into a more fruitful one.
Have a glass of quantum foam and let's counter-toast on stupidity.
