Hey guys,
I have a question. I am doing some homework for university and got super confused (probably just messing up things). So in school you learn that magnetic monopols do not exist. But my question is now: On the sun there are coronal holes, region where the magnetic field is not able to connect to a field of opposite polarity, so that the magnetic field lines reach out into space.
But this confuses me: When the magnetic field lines can not connect to something else, wouldn't this be a magnetic monopol ?
Also another question: the "polarity inversion line" is the line, where both magnetic fields are equally strong ?
Sorry for this stupid question, but we never really learned much about magnetic stuff and all these lines and fields really confuse me.
Have a nice day.
