Monopoles are an abstraction which was created by Dirac. According modern physics monopoles don't exist. But there are some speculations in physics saying if monopoles exist how would it change this world.

Do magnetic monopoles exist in the universe?

As of now, there is no definitive evidence that magnetic monopoles exist in the universe. Scientists continue to search for these hypothetical particles, but they have not been observed or detected so far.


What does Gauss's law for magnetism state about the existence of magnetic monopoles?

Gauss's law for magnetism states that magnetic monopoles do not exist. This means that magnetic poles always come in pairs, with a north pole and a south pole together.


Why do not exist magnetic monopole?

All magnetisim is due to moving charges. The best way to think of why all magnets have two poles is to think of a coil of wire with a current in it. This will create a magnet very much like a bar magnet. In the coil, one end is the North pole and the other end is the South pole. Now you can see that the coil must have two poles because it must have two ends. Cut the coil in half and it still has two ends. Cut the coil down to one loop and it still has two ends. Even in a bar magnet the magnetism is due to the orbiting electrons in the material. One side of the orbit is one pole and the other side is the other pole and there is no way to have an orbit without two sides. Now if magnetisim had magnetic charges ,like electricity does, then you could have magnetic monopoles but no one has ever found a magnetic charge.


What are the differences between a monopole and a dipole?

A monopole has one pole, while a dipole has two poles. Monopoles have a single charge or magnetic pole, while dipoles have both positive and negative charges or poles.


What do spinning electric charges generate?

Spinning electric charges generate a magnetic field. This phenomenon is described by a fundamental principle in physics known as electromagnetism, where the motion of electric charges creates magnetic effects.

Why magnet do not have only N pole?

Magnetism is the result of moving electrical charges - and such movement will always result in a dipole.On the other hand, it has indeed been considered, by some modern theories, that there might be so-called "magnetic monopoles" - particles with only a north (or south) magnetic "charge" but no such monopoles have been observed so far. Perhaps the monopoles - should they exist - are too massive to be created in particle accelerators, for example.


Magnetic poles always come in?

Pairs - although monopoles have long been speculated about!


Can a magnet have only one pole?

Maybe. Monopoles are theoretical. This has been a question for some time, and just recently, monopoles have been discovered on the subatomic level. As of yet, they cannot be turned into the magnet that you and I imagine, but with only one pole due to their unique crystaline structure.

Why did the combinations of large businesses cause problems in the late 1800's?

they formed monopoles that just a few people received the businesses and could control the prices for what they choose too.


How maxwell's second equation prove magnetic mono pole does not exist?

Maxwell's second equation (Gauss's law for magnetism) states that magnetic monopoles do not exist since magnetic field lines always form closed loops, indicating that there is no source or sink of magnetic field. This means that magnetic field lines never start or end at a single point, and instead always form complete loops, leading to the conclusion that magnetic monopoles do not exist.


Which has more magnetism north or south?

As far as I know, the north and south poles of a magnet are equal in strength, because the net magnetic charge of a magnet must be zero (unless monopoles exist).
