This can help visualise a 2-D arrangement (OK - so it is part of a
spherical surface).
As a boy, one distraction was to hang a bar magnet vertical on a 0.5
or 1 metre string about 5 cms above the floor/table. 1 or more bar
magnets (or steel bolts) were then placed on the floor/table near this
pendulum which was then set swinging.
A variation was to use a glass table as base, a small torch taped to
the cord and place a camera (long exposure) below the magnets.
