I know that Ampere speculated that all magnetic fields are due
to currents.
But the prevailing explanation of magnetic fields,
at that time, was in terms of so-called magnetic charges.
"Physics for Students of Science & Engineering", 1937.
H is defined as a force per unit pole.
Many textbooks published in this century still presented
magnetostatic in the same way in which they presented
electrostatics. The only difference was the recognition that
a magnetic dipole could not be cut into two monopoles.
Did
Gauss believe in the reality of N (plus) and S (minus)
magnetic charges?
When did the new definition of B (via
F=q*v x B) start to appear in textbooks?
