We have magnetic fields (strong enough to spin a compass needle round 360 degrees) generated along the lengths of our household wiring. I haven't measured the strengths of these fields yet because I am trying to decide what to buy to do this. I presume that I need a gauss meter. I have been advised that ordinary electrical wiring carrying a conventional AC current should not generate a significant magnetic field. Can anybody offer an explanation for why our wiring is different.
