I agree he's on the right track. And if you have a solenoid the
current is clearly on the outside (well, where the wire is). So what
happens if you stick an iron core in? Well, there are induced in the
material atoms circulating currents that create magnetic dipoles. The
dipoles have some kind of density distribution throughout the core.
But if they are more or less uniform then there exists an equivalency
to a larger current around the outside of the core. And indeed the
iron core seems to increase the strength of the field coming out of
the solenoid. I don't see anything magical about this. It's just the
theory of magnetic materials. The point remains, however, that no
matter where you find it, a magnetic field is always generated by
currents!

Magnetic dipoles?
Just when I was about ready to throw the notion of 'magnetism' (as an
entity) out the window you bring in magetic dipoles Ben.
What is a magnetic dipole if there IS only current? Could it be the lorentz
force/interaction is mirrored due to the opposite(opposite side of nucleus)
direction of the circulating current(electron) thereby giving what we have
percieved as noth/south magnetic poles?
Regards,
Vince

IDIOCY! My appologies.
I'll try again.
Could it be that Lorentz force, being directional, is what we have percieved
as magnetic dipoles? It pushes at one end and sucks on the other, so to
speak. I can see the Lorentze force dong this. And I see the accumulation
of many Lorentz force vectors making one larger, errrr, magnetic field.
I mean, if there is no unique entity as a 'magnetic filed' then any magnetic
dipole (All 'magnetic fields' are an aggragate of 'magnetic dipoles' aren't
they?) is simply the same phenomena. Ie. Lorentz interactions.
Wrong?
Highest regards,
Vince

Right way. But the Lorentz interaction is not in agreement with the
experiment. Lorentz-Grassman force is at right angle to a wire.
Ampere proved that it is more complidated. See Fig. 3.1:

Just when I thought I had a handle on it @@
Wonderful! I only just now had a cursory glance at the first link and I
will enjoy reading it very much I think.
Thank you Szczepan!
