Electric Charges That Behave as Magnetic Monopoles
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research Letters, Vol. 18, 19-28, 2010
Abstract
The memristor theory of Chua [1] provides a connection with the charge and magnetic flux in an electric circuit. We define a similar relation for the electric and magnetic flux densities in electromagnetism. Such an attempt puts forward interesting results. For example, the magnetic charges do not exist in nature however the electric charges behave as the magnetic monopoles in special media. We support our theory with results of the recent experiments on materials named as spin ice.
