Magnetic charge
The amount of magnetism at both ends of the magnetic dipoles. This corresponds to the electric charge for electricity. However, unlike electric load, magnetic charge does not exist independently and is always present in the state of magnetic dipoles. The units are the weber [Wb] for SI units and the electromagnetic unit [emu] for CGS units. A magnetic charge of 1 [Wb] in SI units generates 1 [Wb] of magnetic flux. In CGS units, the magnetic charge of 1 [emu] generates 1 dyne of force at a distance of 1 [cm]. 1 [Wb] = 108/4π [emu]
