Magnet with single pole creation

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the concept of creating a magnet with a single pole, specifically a magnetic monopole, using a hollow sphere made of magnetized segments. The proposal suggests that if the outer surface of the sphere is designated as the North pole and the inner surface as the South pole, it could theoretically function as a monopole. However, participants point out that drawing the magnetic field lines reveals inherent issues with this concept. The feasibility of creating a true magnetic monopole remains in question, as existing physics principles challenge the idea. Overall, the conversation highlights the complexities of magnetism and the theoretical limitations of achieving a monopole.

Hi,

I am proposing a simple way to create a magnet with single pole. Not being a physics/science graduate, this came out of interest of thinking only.

Lets consider a sphere, which is hollow inside and has a thickness to it at the surface only. If i cut a certain segment and make it out of magnet, such that the surface outside is North pole and inside is South pole. Similarly rearrange the whole sphere to made of magnets pieces attached together, with all the outside surface as North pole and inside surface as South pole then do I get a Magnetic monopole?

As the outside surface in the three dimension is a North pole. Is this feasible?

Advance thanks for your replies and comments.

Draw the field lines for each piece, and you'll quickly see the problem.

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
