Magnetic Isopotentials Explain the Faraday Paradox, Stern-Gerlach Experiment, and Atomic Orbitals

mes (67)in DTube • 11 days ago

In this video I summarize the very important work of FractalWoman and Michael Snyder on Isopotentials, which are contours of equal magnetic field strength. These contours are perpendicular to the magnetic field, which is the shape formed by iron filings around a magnet. When plotting out the lines of equal magnetic strength, the shape formed explains many magnetic phenomena in simple terms. The isopotentials represent pressure gradients much the same as contours of air pressure in weather forecasts. When viewing magnetism from the perspective of isopotential lines, it becomes clear why tiny magnets move along curve paths instead of directly towards a bigger magnet. Isopotentials also make clear the expected behavior of Faraday's paradox, the Stern-Gerlach experiment, and the shapes of atomic orbitals.
