What application is there to a magnetic monopole?

AI Thread Summary
Magnetic monopoles are theorized particles that could revolutionize various fields, yet their existence remains unproven despite ongoing research efforts. The potential applications of magnetic monopoles are vast, particularly in areas like quantum computing and nanotechnology, although specific uses are not clearly defined. The discussion highlights a gap in understanding the practical implications of discovering magnetic monopoles. Current scientific endeavors are focused on finding these elusive particles, but progress is still uncertain. The exploration of magnetic monopoles continues to intrigue researchers due to their possible transformative impact on technology.

My book makes many statements about how magnetic monopoles do not exist and how scientist and researchers are trying to accomplish this. They also state that this would have wide applications.

What they don't say is what and why? I see that if a magnetic monopole were to exist it's electric field would like that of a charge partice(+/-) but where could you use this?

Also, is there anyone who is close to creating the magnetic monopole?

Thanks guys

Thread 'Inducing EMF Through a Coil: Understanding Flux'

Thank you for reading my post. I can understand why a change in magnetic flux through a conducting surface would induce an emf, but how does this work when inducing an emf through a coil? How does the flux through the empty space between the wires have an effect on the electrons in the wire itself? In the image below is a coil with a magnetic field going through the space between the wires but not necessarily through the wires themselves. Thank you.

Thread 'Reflections at the source point of a transmission line'

I was using the Smith chart to determine the input impedance of a transmission line that has a reflection from the load. One can do this if one knows the characteristic impedance Zo, the degree of mismatch of the load ZL and the length of the transmission line in wavelengths. However, my question is: Consider the input impedance of a wave which appears back at the source after reflection from the load and has traveled for some fraction of a wavelength. The impedance of this wave as it...
