Hi Hexslinger,

what do you mean you have some gripes about the term "magnetised". Please
explain.

I thought that the old "lines of magnetic force" model was taken for
granted as not being "real" (educational convenience). You say they are
"spirals of swirling vortex into a neutral centre". Spirals of what? How
might I demonstrate this?

Bill.
