In 1750, John Michell stated that magnetic poles attract and repel in<br />

accordance with an inverse square law. Charles-Augustin de Coulomb<br />

experimentally verified this in 1785 and stated explicitly that the north and<br />

south poles cannot be separated (dipoles) . Building on this force between<br />

poles, Siméon Denis Poisson (1781–1840) created the first successful model<br />

of the magnetic field, which he presented in 1824. In this model, a magnetic<br />

H-field is produced by 'magnetic poles' and magnetism is due to small pairs<br />

of north/south magnetic poles.<br />
