Magnetic Monopoles: Existence, Electric & Magnetic Fields

AI Thread Summary
Magnetic monopoles remain a theoretical concept, with ongoing debates about their existence. The discussion touches on whether magnetic fields can be viewed as an extension of electric fields. It is clarified that moving charges produce both electric and magnetic fields, rather than converting one into the other. The conversation reflects a curiosity about the fundamental nature of electric fields in space. Overall, the thread emphasizes the complexity and interconnectedness of electric and magnetic phenomena.

Do magnetic monopoles exist?
Is magnetic field an extended version of electric field?
What electric field in space is made of?
Do moving charges produce magnetic field in addition to electric field or just the electric field converts to magnetic field?

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...
