SUMMARY
Visualizing the magnetic field of an electric motor is challenging due to the narrow gap between the rotor and stator, typically around 0.1 to 0.2 millimeters. Utilizing multiple Hall sensors to detect magnetic field strength at various locations near the motor is a viable approach. This data can be processed by computer software to create a 3D model of the magnetic field. Traditional methods like using iron powder or ferrofluid are not necessary for this visualization.
