Table 1. Magnet stability.
The magnets used in these experiments were assessed for changes in their physical and magnetic properties over a three-week period. Magnetism was assessed by recording changes in the Hall voltage (ΔV) generated by the magnets, while magnet weight was measured using standard laboratory scales. No significant changes in either parameter were found. The error reported in this table is the standard error of the mean, which was calculated from n = 3 post magnets and n = 3 plate magnets.
