Calculating Demagnetization Factor: N for Simple Geometries

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the demagnetization factor N for simple geometries like long cylinders and thin films, seeking straightforward references. It addresses the concept that demagnetization is influenced by boundary effects, particularly noting that at the boundary of a cylindrical magnet, dipole moments lack pairs. Additionally, the conversation questions why the sum of demagnetization factors across all three axes equals unity. Participants express gratitude for previous assistance and seek clarity on these magnetic concepts. The thread emphasizes the need for accessible explanations in magnet analysis.

i have little questions which make me banging my head against the wall over the last few days.

now, before too many walls collapsed :

1. can anyone direct me to an easy reference which explain how to calculate demagnetization factor N for simple geometries (such as long cylinder, thin films, etc). remember, a simple one! not ellipsoids!

2. i believe demagnetization arises because of the boundary effect. is this correct? to be exact, how? i thought this is because at the boundary (if we talk about a cylindrical magnet with magnetization along its axis) the dipole moment there does not have a pair. is this correct? can anyone explain in cleaner way?

3. and why the sum of demagnetization factor in all 3 axes is always unity? or is it?

for those who attempt good response, i would thank very much.
especially gokul43201 who responded my few questions in the past. thanks for the help.

Thread 'Unexpected irregular reflection signal from a high-finesse cavity'
I am observing an irregular, aperiodic noise pattern in the reflection signal of a high-finesse optical cavity (finesse ≈ 20,000). The cavity is normally operated using a standard Pound–Drever–Hall (PDH) locking configuration, where an EOM provides phase modulation. The signals shown in the attached figures were recorded with the modulation turned off. Under these conditions, when scanning the laser frequency across a cavity resonance, I expected to observe a simple reflection dip. Instead...
