What is a monopolar magnetic field?

In particle physics, a magnetic monopole is a hypothetical elementary particle that is an isolated magnet with only one magnetic pole (a north pole without a south pole or vice versa). A magnetic monopole would have a net “magnetic charge”.

Is a monopolar magnet possible?

As implied by its name, the magnetic monopole consists of a single pole, as opposed to the dipole, which is comprised of two magnetic poles. As yet there is no evidence for the existence of magnetic monopoles, but they are interesting theoretically.

Why is a monopolar magnet still impossible to exist?

A magnetic monopole does not exist. Just as the two faces of a current loop cannot be physically separated, magnetic North pole and the South pole can never be separated even on breaking a magnet to its atomic size. A magnetic field is produced by an electric field and not by a monopole.

Can you ever have just a north pole magnet on its own?

Even the permanent magnets you know of cannot have detached north or south poles; they can only exist in tandem. Magnets exist, but only in the form of magnetic dipoles. There’s no such things as a north or south magnetic pole by itself: a magnetic monopole.

What is retentivity and coercivity?

Retentivity: The property of the magnetic material to retain magnetism even in the absence of the magnetizing field is known as retentivity or remanence. Coercivity: The magnetizing field (H) needed to demagnetize the magnetic material completely is known as its coercivity.

How will you describe magnetic field lines far from the magnet?

If you place a compass near the north pole of a magnet, the north pole of the compass needle will be repelled and point away from the magnet. Thus, the magnetic field lines point away from the north pole of a magnet and toward its south pole.

Is gravity a monopolar?

In physics, when we have two, opposite charges or poles connected together, we call it a dipole, but when we have one by itself, we call it a monopole. Gravitational and electric “charges” and their forces. But magnetic monopoles? As far as we can tell, they don’t exist.

What is Bohr magneton and its value?

The Bohr magneton, named for the 20th-century Danish physicist Niels Bohr, is equal to about 9.274 × 10−21 erg per gauss per particle.

Can you ever have just a north pole of a magnet on its own?

Does the earth have its own magnetic field?

In a sense, yes. The Earth is composed of layers having different chemical compositions and different physical properties. The crust of the Earth has some permanent magnetization, and the Earth’s core generates its own magnetic field, sustaining the main part of the field we measure at the surface.
