Summary
edit| Description |
English: Drawing of a homogeneously magnetized spherical magnet with exactly computed magnetic field lines. A spherical magnet has the remarkable property that its field outside the magnet is identical to that of an ideal point-like dipole. Inside the magnetized volume, the field is exactly constant and aligned along the north-south axis. The magnetic scalar potential 𝜓 is shown in the background from positive (fuchsia) through zero (yellow) to negative (aqua) together with uniformely spaced equipotential lines. Note that the field lines follow the gradient of the scalar potential. |
