Quote: the continuous, unbounded lines of force represent the nature, condition, direction, and intensity of the magnetic force

Quotation

The general conclusions are, that the magnetic lines of force may be easily recognized and taken account of by the moving wire, both as to direction and intensity, within metals, iron or magnets, as well as in the space around; and that the wire sums up the action of many lines in one result :-that the lines of forces well represent the nature, condition, direction, and amount of the magnetic forces:- that the effect is directly as the number of lines of force intersected, whether the intersection be direct or oblique:-that in a field of equal force, it is directly as the velocity; or as the length of the moving wire; or as the mass of the wire:-that the external power of an unchangeable magnet is definite yet illimitable in extent; and that any section of all the lines of force is equal to any other section:-that the lines of force within the magnet are equal to those without; and also that they are continuous with those without, the lines of force being closed curves.   Google-1   Google-2
