russ_watters: It wasn't so much an investigation as something I found when I was messing around with our compass. Having found these magnetic fields in the walls I was just trying to make sense of them.
xts: Find a compass. Locate a supply wire to a light switch (ours travel up from the switch to the ceiling). Move the compass horizontally across the wall in front of the supply wire, and watch what the needle does. At intervals along the supply wires to our light switches and plug sockets the...
Thanks Naty1. I've shut down the household electricity supply at the fuse box and the magnetic fields are still present ie situated in line with the power supply cables to plug sockets and light switches. I've checked the wiring in two plug sockets and a light switch and it seems OK. The back...
We have magnetic fields (strong enough to spin a compass needle round 360 degrees) generated along the lengths of our household wiring. I haven't measured the strengths of these fields yet because I am trying to decide what to buy to do this. I presume that I need a gauss meter. I have been...
