Part 3/8:
Using a Tesla meter (gauze meter), Paul shows that the magnetic fields extend significantly beyond the physical boundaries of the magnets, becoming compressed and forced into specific regions when similar poles are brought together. Interestingly, he observes that the North side always extends farther than the South, suggesting an asymmetry that might have implications for understanding magnetic field distribution.
He further experiments by moving magnets of different configurations closer together, meticulously observing the zero points and field extension. These tests consistently reveal the zero spot’s persistence, emphasizing that magnetic fields behave in ways that might not be immediately obvious.
