  • Magnetic Monopoles

    Introduction Magnetic monopoles are hypothetical particles that carry a single, isolated magnetic pole – either a north pole or a south pole. In contrast, every known particle that carries a magnetic field has both a north and a south pole. The concept of magnetic monopoles arises from the symmetry in Maxwell’s equations and the concept…

  • Magnetic Field

    Introduction A magnetic field is a vector field that describes the magnetic influence of electric charges in relative motion and magnetized materials. The magnetic field at any given point is specified by both a direction and a magnitude (or strength), so it is a vector field. Magnetic Force on a Moving Charge The force exerted…
