The maximum theoretical field strength for a neutron star, and therefore for any known phenomenon is 1013 T. Why is there a maximum?

Tide, could you explain that please?
Ah yes, thank you very much.Tide said:Magnetic fields arise from the flow of current or the intrinsic magnetic moment of a spinning particle (which is essentially a current). The speed of light limits the flow of current and charge is invariant under Einstein-Lorentz transformation. Assuming finite charge density, magnetic fields due to electrical current are therefore bounded by the speed of light.

I'm not sure what you mean by "maintain" since the magnetic moment is a permanent property of the atom.

SESSION 7: SPECIAL SESSION: ELECTROSTATIC CONSIDERATIONS IN INDUSTRY
MODERATOR: D. Swenson, 3M
7.7 CASE STUDY - LARGE PLASTIC WEB ELECTROSTATIC PROBLEMS, RESULTS AND CURE,
D. Swenson, 3M Company
Tremendous static charge generation on a plastic web causes unique physical phenomena and special problems. Solution was simple and cost effective.
David Swenson of 3M Corporation describes an anomaly where workers encountered a strange "invisible wall" in the area under a fast-moving sheet of electrically charged polypropelene film in a factory. This "invisible wall" was strong enough to prevent humans from passing through. A person near this "wall" was unable to turn, and so had to walk backwards to retreat from it.
That's a fascinating quote, Moo. I don't have time to check the link right now, but am looking forward to it later.
The maximum magnetic field strength, also known as the saturation magnetization, is the maximum amount of magnetic field that a material can hold before it becomes magnetically saturated.
The maximum magnetic field strength is typically measured in units of Tesla (T) or Gauss (G) using a magnetometer.
The maximum magnetic field strength of a material is affected by its composition, temperature, and external magnetic field. It also varies depending on the type of material, such as ferromagnetic, paramagnetic, or diamagnetic.
Maximum magnetic field strength is important in various industrial and scientific applications. It determines the strength of magnetic materials and their ability to be magnetized, which is crucial in the development of technologies such as magnetic storage devices and electromagnets.
Yes, there is a theoretical limit to the maximum magnetic field strength. This limit is known as the Curie temperature, and it is the temperature at which a material loses its magnetization and becomes paramagnetic.
