Is there any magnetic flipping or magnetic pole reversal phenomenon in Spherical magnet?

Spherical magnet, as a special form of magnet, also follows the basic principles of magnetism. In the field of magnetism, magnetic flipping or magnetic pole reversal is an important phenomenon, and Spherical magnet also has this possibility.
First, we need to understand the definition of magnetic poles. Every magnet has two magnetic poles, the north pole (N pole) and the south pole (S pole). In steady state, the positions of these two magnetic poles are fixed. However, when external conditions change, the magnetic poles may change, which is known as magnetic flipping or pole reversal.
For Spherical magnets, due to the particularity of its shape, its magnetic field distribution is more complex than that of magnets with other shapes. Under certain conditions, such as the effect of an external magnetic field, temperature changes or mechanical shock, the magnetic poles of a Spherical magnet may reverse. This reversal may be local or global.
Local magnetic pole reversal means that the magnetic pole direction of a part of the Spherical magnet has changed, while global magnetic pole reversal means that the magnetic pole direction of the entire Spherical magnet has changed by 180 degrees. This phenomenon of overall magnetic pole reversal has occurred many times in the history of the earth and is called "geomagnetic pole reversal".
Although there is a possibility of magnetic flipping or magnetic pole reversal in Spherical magnets, in practical applications, this situation is not common. Because achieving magnetic pole reversal requires specific external conditions, these conditions are difficult to achieve in ordinary environments. Therefore, we can think that the magnetic poles of Spherical magnets are relatively stable.
In general, there is the possibility of magnetic flipping or magnetic pole reversal in Spherical magnets, but it is not common in practical applications. For occasions where a stable magnetic field is required, magnets of other shapes can be selected or other measures can be taken to ensure the stability of the magnetic field.
