    Monopole Origin
AI Thread Summary
A stationary monopole is theorized to exist at the origin, represented mathematically by the equations for magnetic and electric fields. The discussion highlights that both magnetic and electric current densities (J_m and J_e) are zero in a static case, suggesting no monopole presence. While the concept of magnetic monopoles could symmetrize Maxwell's equations, there is currently no experimental evidence supporting their existence. The conversation acknowledges the speculative nature of monopole behavior, emphasizing that discussions remain theoretical. Overall, the existence of stationary monopoles remains unproven and largely hypothetical.

A stationary Monopole exist at the Origin.

1)##\vec{B} = \frac{g \hat r}{4 \pi r^2}##
2)##\vec{E} = \frac{e \hat r}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 r^2}##

3)## - \nabla \times \vec{E} = \frac{\partial \vec B}{c \partial t} + \frac{4 \pi}{c} \vec{J_m}##
4)##\nabla \times \vec{B} = \frac{\partial \vec E}{c \partial t} + \frac{4 \pi}{c} \vec{J_e}##

##- \nabla \times \vec{E} = 0##
##\frac{\partial B}{c \partial t} = 0##
therefore
##J_m = 0##

Similarly
##J_e = 0##

Is this correct?

There is no evidence for magnetic monopoles, so any discussion about how they would behave is speculation
 
Well, it's nevertheless interesting. Of course, in the static case you have ##\vec{J}_e=\vec{J}_m=0##.
 
My first-year intro physics textbook (Halliday & Resnick, Fundamentals of Physics, 2nd ed., early 1970s) noted briefly that Maxwell's equations could be made symmetric between E and B by introducing magnetic monopoles, in the form shown in post #1 (as well as in Wikipedia). It then quickly noted, of course, that no magnetic monopoles have ever been observed. And this is probably not the only way one could set up electromagnetism with monopoles, simply the most "obvious" way.

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'
I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...
I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
Hello! I am generating electrons from a 3D gaussian source. The electrons all have the same energy, but the direction is isotropic. The electron source is in between 2 plates that act as a capacitor, and one of them acts as a time of flight (tof) detector. I know the voltage on the plates very well, and I want to extract the center of the gaussian distribution (in one direction only), by measuring the tof of many electrons. So the uncertainty on the position is given by the tof uncertainty...
