I would think that it is mostly (over 70%) the facing areas but would expect the current would be very similar to the lines of force seen when one sprinkles iron filings on a piece of paper and then place the poles of a horse-shoe magnet under the paper. Most from the facing surfaces, some from the edges and a lot less from the rear. One way to find out is to take a probe and plot the potential gradient at the different points. I think I did the some 50 years ago in collage physics and got a t plot similar to the magnetic lines of force. Erwin -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
