Summary

Description
English: Drawing of two homogeneously magnetized flat cylindrical magnets with exactly computed magnetic field lines for the case of vanishing susceptibility (). The two magnets are aligned on top of each other along the cylinder axis and with a narrow gap in-between. This configuration is often used as a dipole magnet to create a strong and roughly uniform magnetic field in the gap, for instance in cyclotrons.
