Summary
| 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 shown B-field points straight from south to north inside the magnet, whereas the H-field, although identical to B in free space, would point from north to south inside the magnet. |
