boguslaw - by the way - if one needed to test that arrangement of magnets the primary 'holding' magnet would need to be cast with a hollow to accomodate the second magnet. And to test it - one would need to cut the primary in half and secure the second with some kind of brass or aluminium bar arrangement and then just explore the different positions of the second magnet's polarites inside the primary magnet. Personally I think the arrangement of a sphere in the holding magnet would not comply to the generalised field effect that these magnetic dipoles move to. But it's possibly close. I think a toroid would be more appropriate as a holding magnet. But it would be a way of getting close to studying the interactive effect of two magnetic dipoles.
edit. By the way - it's a very good question. Magnetic interfacing is my entire obsession.
