Magnetic Charge

Magnetic charge is a theoretical concept similar to electric charge but applied to magnetism. In classical physics, magnets have north and south poles, and magnetic charges don't exist as isolated entities; they always come in pairs (e.g., a north pole and a south pole). While electric charges can be positive or negative, magnetic charges have not been observed as standalone entities in nature as of now. The idea of magnetic monopoles—hypothetical particles that would carry a single magnetic charge—remains a topic of research and exploration in physics.
