Actually, I believe that they do, in rather unusual circumstances. You'll have to do some research on this. Have you tried something called the World Wide Web and a search engine? Try "monopoles", one word, or even "magnetic monopoles". Good luck.

Basically magnetic fields exist as linked fields. If you look at maxwell's equations for electromagnetics, it says div(B) = 0. B is magnetic induction, and it basically says that all magnetic fields are closed links (thus no open links, thus no monopoles).

Scientists believe that magnetic fields are created because of the movement of electrical charges. Even in a basic magnet. This is because of the fact that you have spinning electrons. When an electron spins, it has a little north pole and thus a little south pole. When all the electrons are generally all aligned you have a piece of metal becoming a magnet.

That being said, scientists are still looking for monopoles. Some theories are being tested in particle accelerators looking for the existance of these strange things.

i am fairly sure that this question is under investigation.... mono poles in a magnet as has already been pointed out cant be a magnet. this would be alot like a charged object (either attracting or repelling objects).

I do know that if you break a magnet in two you get two magnets. so you cant seperate a magnets N and S poles.....

anyhow we dont know to the best of my knowlage

No monopoles have been found in nature.

They do not exist, because AFAIK every magnet we have found so far fundamentally consists of a current loop at some level. In this arrangement, you can never have just a single magnetic pole.

Hi ashis s!!!!

I'm not really sure, but I found your question interesting.

By just guessing, I would say that mono poles do not exist in magnets, because they will NOT be magnets if they do!!!
