| The article provides a generalized definition of the Moses effect, which is described as a change in the shape of a liquid's free surface due to interaction with different force fields. It provides a review of previous results and examples of new opportunities to study this effect. One example was realized using ferrofluid. As a result, the fluid level changed by 104-105, which is greater than the change in diamagnetic or paramagnetic liquids, and the changes agreed well with the predictions. The article proposes a scheme for organizing future studies of the Moses effect, which can also be easily used as attractive demonstration experiments. |
