homework and exercises - Magnetic monopole and vector potential


Does anyone know how to prove (in a simple way if possible) that it is impossible to define a single-valued globally defined magnetic vector potential $\vec{A}$ on the manifold $M=\mathbb{R}^3\backslash\{0\}$ for a static magnetic monopole placed at the origin?


Hypothesis: $\vec{B} = g \vec{r}/(4\pi r^3)$

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
