We are always told that in magnetism monopoles doesn`t exist... SO can u tell me where are the poles of a current carrying straight wire? ... A current carrying wire produces magnetic fields.. So where are the dipole of these field

The magnetic field lines produced due to the current carrying straight wire is circular around the wire.
And therfore, there is no poles defined for them.  This is an illusion only well defined for the permnent magnets.

But magnetic field lines always originate from a pole... And each and every thing which produces magnetic field lines are magnets.. We define magnetic poles for a current carrying circular loop then why not for this?
