If anyone can answer this question or point me to a source that may be able to, your help/advice would be greatly appreciated. I need to find out how, or if there is a way, to physically shape an electromagnetic field (manipulate the electromagnet so that its lines of flux do not propagate concentrically). Specifically, I want to confine it along a linear path - some shapes I am thinking of that would suit this purpose would be helical, cylindrical, or just straight up linear flux lines if possible. I am basically looking for a method on how such an EM magnet would need to be constructed, to include one or more magnets (if some type of interference, cancellation, or harmonizing is required). Thanks.

You can't, EM fields extend infinitely throughout space, and there is no way to shape them. You can stretch them, but you can't just mould them like you suggest. Try using a former.

"classical physics" refers to depends on the context. When discussing special relativity, it refers to the Newtonian physics which preceded relativity, i.e. the branches of physics based on principles developed before the rise of relativity and quantum mechanics. When discussing general relativity,
