The answer
All results
No peak flux density: the core's corners are singularities of the exact solution, so a pointwise maximum climbs with every refinement instead of converging. Everything above is an integral — a flux, a section average, an energy — which a singularity carries no weight in. No gap force either: a symmetric bar core feels exactly zero.

Everything the exercise rests on, in the order it matters. Nothing here has been shortened — it has been moved out of the way of the experiment.
