can anyone tell me the properties of monopoles?
Raymond31415 said:yes, magnetic monopoles, I was wondering if superconductors might be a type of monopole because of its magnetic properties
Jarle said:If you cut a normal magnet with + in one end and - in the other in half, would you get a monopole?
Jarle said:What makes the magnet a magnet, and not just a normal object. what powers can this magnet object contain to affect other obejcts far away from it?
billiards said:Also, a charged particle will follow the magnetic field lines.
basically a charged object will become a magnetic object if it is moving.
Sometimes this effect occurs at a sub-atomic scale, small charged particles called electrons whizzing about in an ordered manner cause a magnetic field.
I think what bill's saying is true, but loose. Charged particles do tend to spiral around strong field lines, and indeed (classically) magnetic fields result from charged particles being viewed in a frame that isn't comoving. A "spinning" electron could perhaps even be described as a magnetic point particle, but it is still a dipole rather than a monopole.marlon said:Huh ? [...] magnetic point particle ? [...]
No, it cannot. This is exactly what i was objecting against. The concept of magnetic point particle does not exist in both classical physics and special relativity.cesiumfrog said:A "spinning" electron could perhaps even be described as a magnetic point particle

Sorry, i don't get this ? Are you saying that an electric point particle moving in a magnetic field, becomes a magnetic point particle ?

When ?
billiards said:Badly phrased I'll admit, but I wasn't talking small scale here.
Ohh ok, got it now.How about ferromagnetism.
Monopoles are hypothetical particles that have only one magnetic pole, either a north or south pole. In contrast, regular magnets have both a north and south pole.
Currently, there is no conclusive evidence of the existence of monopoles. They are predicted by some theories, but have not been observed in experiments.
If monopoles do exist, they are believed to have a magnetic charge, similar to how regular magnets have a magnetic charge. They would also have a mass and spin, like other particles.
Monopoles differ from regular magnets in that they have only one magnetic pole, while regular magnets have both a north and south pole. Monopoles are also predicted to have a much stronger magnetic force.
If monopoles are ever discovered and harnessed, they could have a wide range of applications in technology, such as in more efficient motors and generators, and in the development of new materials with unique magnetic properties.
