Electric Charge Interacting with Magnetic Monopole

AI Thread Summary
The interaction between electric charges and magnetic monopoles is primarily characterized by the absence of interaction in electrostatic conditions. However, in dynamic scenarios, moving charges and monopoles generate magnetic and electric fields, leading to complex interactions. The established theory describes how a moving electric charge interacts with a magnetic field, but the specific case of electric and magnetic monopoles has been addressed by Paul Dirac. Dirac's work provides insights into the theoretical framework governing these interactions. Overall, while static conditions show no interaction, dynamic scenarios present significant complexities.

Is there a general solution explicitly worked out for how a monopole and electic charge would interact? Of course the electro-static solution is that there is no interaction, but the electro-dynamic solution would not be so trivial, as moving charges/monopoles would induce magnetic/electic fields.

Interaction of a moving electric charge and a magnetic field is well worked out... I think the specific issue of an electric and magnetic monopole was worked out by Paul Dirac.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
