tend to turn itself so that it's plane be-

its plane cuts as few lines as possible. A
copper disk on the other hand, which is
appreoiably smaller in diameter than the
polar surface is under certain conditions
attracted, but it will also endeavor to place
itself in such position that the minimum
number of lines of force pass through it.
Both phenomena are due to phase shift
