Expression for field due to magnetic monopole

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The expressions for the magnetic field due to a magnetic monopole are analogous to those for an electric charge, with pole strength (p) replacing charge (Q). Specifically, the magnetic field due to a magnetic monopole is defined as B = p/r², paralleling the electric field equation E = Q/r². However, the force exerted by a magnetic pole differs from that of an electric charge; the magnetic dipole field mirrors the electric dipole field, substituting the electric dipole moment (p) with the magnetic dipole moment (μ).

1)It is said that the expressions for field due to a magnetic monopole is similar to field due to a electric charge except that in the former case we take pole strength in place of charge. Is it true?
i.e. Electric field due to a point charge = Q/r^2 Magnetic field due to a magnetic monopole = p/r^2
where p = pole strength,Q = charge
Is it true for force exerted by a magnetic pole at a given point?

No, the field of a magnetic dipole is the same as the field of an electric dipole except you replace the electric dipole moment [itex]\vec{p}[/itex] for the magnetic dipole moment [itex]\vec{\mu}[/itex].
