Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the feasibility of creating a radially oriented magnet without inequality or jagged edges, exploring both theoretical and practical aspects of magnet design. Participants consider the possibility of constructing such a magnet in a laboratory setting and discuss the implications of magnetic monopoles.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant questions whether it is possible to build a radially oriented magnet without inequality and jagged edges, referencing a specific design.
  • Another participant asserts that magnetic monopoles do not exist, suggesting limitations in the proposed design.
  • A different participant acknowledges the non-existence of magnetic monopoles but speculates on the potential to create a similar effect in a laboratory with advanced technology.
  • It is suggested that while a spherical monopole is fundamentally impossible, a "monopole" disk could be constructed.
  • One participant proposes a method of assembling magnets by gluing their north poles together to create a structure with protruding south poles.
  • Another participant mentions the availability of pie-shaped magnets that can be used in DC motors, emphasizing the importance of pole orientation when purchasing.
  • A suggestion is made to explore arc-shaped magnets available from specific suppliers, which may meet the design requirements discussed.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the possibility of creating a radially oriented magnet, with some asserting it is not feasible while others propose alternative designs or methods. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the practicality of the initial concept.

Contextual Notes

Participants reference the fundamental limitations of magnetic monopoles and the specific design requirements for the proposed magnet, indicating a dependence on definitions and assumptions about magnet construction.

Can we build it without any inequality and without any jagged ?
i want all flux work as well as picture

No, there is no such thing as a magnetic monopole.
 
i know that there is no such thing as a magnetic monopole
But maybe we can build it in a labratoar with high tech ?
 
Nope

You could make a "monopole" disk, but not a sphere. The spherical monopole is precluded for quite fundamental reasons.

Clearly.

But one could super glue the north poles of magnets together so that their south poles stick out like the spikes of a porcupine.
 
we can build it as disk?
 
You can purchase pie shaped magnets where the pointy ends are truncated. They are used to make DC motors. You buy one kind so that all the similar poles faces outward, rather than alternating as in a motor. You'll end up with a thick ring with a fairly large hole in the middle. Google "motor magnets". I suggest you only buy them online if the supllier clearly states the orientation of the poles.

You can get arc shaped magnets with the magnetic orientation you're looking for at rare-earth-magnets.com. I hope it's what you need. :) I would have posted a direct link, but I don't have 15 posts yet.
