extraordinary!

Thanks so much for the project file. I was wrecking my brain trying to figure out how to visualize the motion of charged particles aorund a magnetic line of force and this does the trick beautifully. Very much appreciated.

Really love this! I tried to customize this a lot, but what I couldn't really be able to achieve is, stretch the length of the swirls.. Messed a lot with the math in the expressions with no luck in changing the orientation.

I want the line's curve to be much smoother & longer in it's motion, as if it's flowing gently instead of curling so quick.

Can anyone help me understand..
Would be grateful..
