You could do much the same with magnetism instead of
electricity. Diffraction of light around a sharp edge
also involves hyperbolic curves. (Light only travels in straight
lines when looked at on macroscopic car dvd player scales - for diffraction
in this experiment they are really hyperbolas whose curvature is
only noticeable at lengths comparable with the wavelength.)
