how are lines of induction formed due to 2 horseshoe magnets that are placed side by side but no contact? Are there websites that would show me about it?
How Do Horseshoe Magnets Create Induction Lines Without Contact?
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the formation of induction lines between two horseshoe magnets placed side by side without contact. Participants clarify that when like poles are adjacent, repulsion occurs, while attraction happens when unlike poles are positioned together. A practical method to visualize these induction lines involves placing a sheet of paper over the magnets and sprinkling iron filings on it. This hands-on approach allows for a clear demonstration of magnetic fields and their interactions.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of magnetic fields and induction

We need a diagram of some sort. How exactly are the magnets placed with respect to each other?

Sirus, the two horseshoe magnets are placed close to each other without contact such that (1) like poles are aside and (2) when unlike poles are aside...

Why don't you see yourself? Just place a sheet of paper above the magnets and sprinkle iron filing around the magnets onto the paper.

Hello.. I would suggest to try it somewhere... for me, I'll go to the laboratory and find it out. I think it will be fun because you're using iron fillings..
