minus-squareJakenVeina@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·10 months agoBut it doesn’t take the easiest path. That’s the point. It takes the path that aligns with the magnetic field. Which might take it through your palm.
minus-squareEl Barto@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down8·edit-210 months agoHm, no, it actually does take the easiest path. See, if there was a real obstacle in the magnetic field lines, the object would take some other path of lesser resistance. That’s not this case so… yeah. Shortest path. Doable path. Easiest.
