In this video I show that the magnetic field resembles the electric field of 2 "bound" or very closely together charges. The magnetic field is the shape that iron filings make in the presence of a magnet (both electromagnetic with current in a coil or loop of wire, and a permanent magnet). The electric field is the shape of the field indicating the force between 2 electric charges: like charges repel and opposites attract. Using the University of Colorado Boulder electric field simulator, I also show that the electric field of a collection of bound and aligned charges resembles very closely the magnetic field of a permenant magnet. This begs the question as to whether the magnetic and electric fields are just the same field under different conditions: the electric field is for separated charges while the magnetic field is for bound charges?
