Is there a null point at the center of a ring magnet?

Physics Asked by pehr on May 11, 2021

The image below, using a ferrocell to visualise magnetic fields, shows a “null point” between two ring magnets that repel each another, and what looks like “null points” at the center of each ring magnet. Is there a null point at the center of a ring magnet?

I have a code to calculate the ring magnet field. Figure 1 shows the field distribution. It can be seen that the field on the axis changes sign, therefore, the field vanishes in a certain region near the magnet, but not in the center. fig1

The image shown results from the use of ring magnets over a ferrocell. It is not a true representation of the space occupied by a magnetic field.[1]

There is no null point at the center of a ring magnet.
