What is the action for an electromagnetic field if including magnetic charge
Recently, I try to write an action of an electromagnetic field with magnetic charge and quantize it. But it seems not as easy as it seems to be. Does anyone know anything or think of anything like ...

What happens to the magnetic field in this case?
As far as I know, it's possible to create a radially polarised ring magnet, where one pole is on the inside, and the field lines cross the circumference at right angles.
So imagine if I made one ...

Basic question on magnetism regarding north and south pole
I am currently busy with some magnetism and quite shockingly (to me at least) I haven't yet read anything about the difference between the north pole and the south pole of a magnet. Before I started ...

Can the poles of a magnet have varying intensity?
In re-reading Is it possible to separate the poles of a magnet? (amongst others) the question mentioned in the title here just occurred to me.
It may not be possible, at our current levels of ...

Can you put a magnetic ball into a hollow magnetic sphere?
if all magnets have to have two poles(one north one south), is it possible to construct a hollow sphere where the inside face of the sphere was one pole, and the outside face another pole?
is it also ...

Does the universe appear to be a monopole to a ferromagnetic object within a solenoid?
Just what the title states, please.
To a ferromagnetic object placed at the centre of a solenoid (E.g. car-starter), does it appear that the universe around it is a monopole?
p.s. Preferably in ...

Does a rotating magnetic monopole have electric and magnetic moment in classical view?
Would a rotating sphere of magnetic monopole charge have electric moment ?
In a duality transformation E->B.c etc. how is the magnetic moment translated m = I.S -> ?
Mel = d/dt(-Qmag/c).S ?
A more ...

Why are electric charges allowed to be so light but magnetic monopoles have to be so heavy?
My question is in two parts.
What is the origin of the electric field from an electric charge and why electron can have so small mass? While on the other hand for a magnetic monopole to create a ...

Why magnetic monopole found in spin ice don't modify the Maxwell's Equations?
Magnetic monopole predicted by Dirac nearly a century ago was found in spin ice as quasi-particle(2). My question is Why magnetic monopole found in spin ice don't modify the Maxwell's Equations? (I ...

Dirac's quantization rule
I first recall the Dirac's quantization rule, derived under the hypothesis that there would exit somewhere a magnetic charge: $\frac{gq}{4\pi} = \frac{n\hbar}{2} $ with $n$ natural.
I am wondering ...

Does existence of magnetic monopole break covariant form of Maxwell’s equations for potentials?
Absence of magnetic charges is reflected in one of Maxwell's fundamental equations:
$$\operatorname{div} \vec B = 0 \text{ (1).}$$
This equation allows us to introducte concept of vector potential:

Effect of introducing magnetic charge on use of vector potential
It is well known that Maxwell equations can be made symmetric w.r.t. $E$ and $B$ by introducing non-zero magnetic charge density/flux.
In this case we have $div B = \rho_m$, where $\rho_m$ is a ...

Why do physicists believe that there exist magnetic monopoles?
One thing I've heard stated many times is that "most" or "many" physicists believe that, despite the fact that they have not been observed, there are such things as magnetic monopoles.
However, I've ...

Is it possible to separate the poles of a magnet?
It might seem common sense that when we split a magnet we get 2 magnets with their own N-S poles. But somehow, I find it hard to accept this fact.(Which I now know is stated by Gauss's Law)
