On interactions of static magnetic fields

Ömer Zor

   We investigated the interaction energy of a Gilbertian magnetic charge with each of the ``point'' magnetic field sources. Finally we extrapolated a Dirac string can only be defined if there is at most one Dirac monopole in the medium. If there is only one Dirac monopole/string in the universe, the probability of detecting it is essential zero, such that Dirac's monopole would remain just a ``theorist's particle''.

Keywords: magnetic monopole, Dirac string, interaction energy
