Does a magnetic field always have rotational symmetry?

Physics Asked by Marlon Namekaze Brade on January 17, 2021

Does a magnetic field always have rotational symmetry? If not, would someone mind giving me an example?

One Answer

Absolutely not. Here is an map of the magnetic field in the galaxy from Sobey, et al., Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Volume 484, Issue 3, April 2019, Pages 3646–3664. As you can see, it has a lot of complex structure and is not rotationally invariant in any sense.
