Another visualization of the behaviour of magnetic fields without the concept of lines of force. When the magnet is moved around it simply changes the orientation of all the little compass needles. The notion of lines of force tends to make one think the magnetic field is somehow mechanically

As most might know, in physics we only know force fields. Thus so called field lines (magnet field) are equipotential cuts of the space covered by fields. Of course you never can draw such a line as all sources are in constant motion/rotation. The static magnetic field is a special case as it
