Abstract
By assuming the dual symmetry of Maxwell's equations in the presence of magnetic charge we calculate the electromagnetic and gravitational fields for a spherically symmetric configuration of electric and magnetic charge. If we assume the matter carrying electric and magnetic charge admits the condition of vanishing normal pressure, we may match the interior and exterior solutions to obtain a mass charge relation. Astrophysical searches for such bound configurations would entail looking for correlations between the integrated energy released when such a configuration collapses and the total magnetic and electric charge of the configuration.
