What is the upper limit of magnetic density?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the concept of magnetic density and whether there is an upper limit to it. Theoretical research suggests that, in principle, there are no limits to magnetic density, but practical constraints exist due to current technology. The upper limit achievable with existing equipment is linked to explosive-type magnetic fields, such as those produced by electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapons or nuclear detonations. However, these fields are still significantly weaker than those found in cosmic phenomena. It is clarified that magnetic fields cannot turn materials into solid forms, similar to how gases can become liquids under pressure.

Is it an upper limit of megnetic density? Can magnetic density be so strong it turns "solid"?

Well actually a simple google search turned up some answer that might interest you, although I hope you searched yourself before asking?

So basically summing up what the article says, theoretically there are no limits in real life assuming we don't have limited resources and equipment like we have , we could make extremely strong fields , but in the reality with our current capability I would say the upper limit is as the article mentions the one you can achieve with a microsecond explosive type magnetic field.
Look up the EMP , there is a weapon designed specifically to make as strong as possible electromagnetic field for enemy electrical equipment damage also a nuclear detonation makes a very strong magnetic field in a pulsed way.These fields have a high density , yet not even close to the ones on a cosmological scale.

What do you mean by turning solid? Like air or different types of gas, when under high pressure they turn liquid? If so then no I don't think a field of any kind, electric , magnetic can turn into a solid object or even liquid, haven't heard nor seen anything like that happening.
