Abstract
The discovery of a universal behavior for the distortion of one-dimensional walls, formed in nematic liquid crystal samples under the action of a magnetic field, above the Fr\'eedericksz threshold is reported. By means of a simple theoretical approach it is shown that the length of these walls, when properly scaled and considered as a function of the reduced magnetic field, stays in a common line of corresponding states. This behavior is confirmed by experimental data on lyotropic as well as in thermotropic nematic liquid crystals.
