-An interesting aspect is that even non-magnetized, ferromagnetic materials experience a force effect in the magnetic field. A non-magnetic nail is attracted by a permanent magnet. This even happens independently of the magnetic pole. This also explains the visualization about iron filings (= small ferromagnetic parts), see <imgref BildNr02>. Also here there is a force effect and a torque, which aligns the iron filings. The visible field seems to form field lines here.+Interestingly, even non-magnetized, ferromagnetic materials experience a force effect in the magnetic field.

-If there is another current-carrying conductor near the first conductor, the fields overlap. In the simulation below, the current of both conductors is directed in the same direction. The field between the conductors overlaps just enough to weaken. This can also be deduced by previous knowledge if just the middle point between both conductors is considered: There, for the left conductor the right-hand rule results in a vector directed towards the observer. For the right conductor, it results in a vector that is directed away from the observer. These just cancel each other out. Further outward field lines go around both conductors. North and south poles here are not fixed localized towards the outside.+If there is another current-carrying conductor near the first conductor, the fields overlap.

-The previous derivation from the toroidal coil is now to be used to derive the field strength around a long, straight conductor. For a single conductor the part $N \cdot I$ of the formula can be reduced to $ N \cdot I = 1 \cdot I = I$since there is only one conductor. For the toroidal coil, the magnetic field strength was given by this current(s) divided by the (average) field line length. Because of the (same rotational) symmetry, this is also true for the single conductor. Also here the field line length has to be taken into account.+The previous derivation from the toroidal coil is now used to derive the field strength around a long, straight conductor.

 Now, what is the difference between the magnetic potential difference $V_m$ and the magnetic voltage $\theta$? Now, what is the difference between the magnetic potential difference $V_m$ and the magnetic voltage $\theta$?
   - The first equation of the toroidal coil ($\theta = H \cdot l$) is valid for exactly __one turn__ along a field line with the length $l$. In addition, the magnetic voltage was equal to the current times the number of windings: $\theta = N \cdot I$.   - The first equation of the toroidal coil ($\theta = H \cdot l$) is valid for exactly __one turn__ along a field line with the length $l$. In addition, the magnetic voltage was equal to the current times the number of windings: $\theta = N \cdot I$.
-  - The second equation ($V_m = H \cdot s$) is independent of the length of the field line $l$. Only if $s = l$ is chosen, the magnetic voltage equals the magnetic potential difference. The path length $s$ can be a fraction or multiple of a single revolution $l$ for the magnetic potential difference.+  - The second equation ($V_{\rm m} = H \cdot s$) is independent of the length of the field line $l$. Only if $s = l$ is chosen, the magnetic voltage equals the magnetic potential difference. The path length $s$ can be a fraction or multiple of a single revolution $l$ for the magnetic potential difference.
  
 Thus, for each infinitesimally small path ${\rm d}s$ along a field line, the resulting infinitesimally small magnetic potential difference ${\rm d}V_{\rm m} = H \cdot {\rm d}s$ can be determined. If now along the field line the magnetic field strength $H = H(\vec{s})$ changes, then the magnetic potential difference from point $\vec{s_1}$ to point $\vec{s_2}$ results to: Thus, for each infinitesimally small path ${\rm d}s$ along a field line, the resulting infinitesimally small magnetic potential difference ${\rm d}V_{\rm m} = H \cdot {\rm d}s$ can be determined.
