"Magnetic brooms" are used in some space science 
experiments to sweep electrons away from some 
portion of the instrument (for example detectors 
in the focal plane of an x-ray telescope).  I want 
to look at the field configuration of a magnetic 
broom.  Has anyone used Mathematica to plot 
field lines?  Thanks.
