Summary

{{Information

|description=

English: Magnetic B-field inside and outside of a cylindrical bar magnet. The field is accurately computed with a magnetic current model, where atomic currents add up to an effective current around the magnet (dot symbols for current out of the image plane, cross symbols for current into image plane). Discrete field lines are drawn.
