| Abstract: | This paper presents a magnetic efficiency model for comparing efficiencies of various magnets for magnetic resonance imaging. It demonstrates that monohedral magnets, magnets with sources on one side, can generate remote saddle points in the field profile relatively efficiently. These magnets may be modeled by a minimum of two magnetic dipoles. The paper examines the field profile and magnetic dipole efficiency for the two-dipole model in detail, and develops some fundamental properties of homogeneous magnetic fields |
