摘要

The symmetry between electric and magnetic fields in the sourcefree Maxwell's equations naturally suggests that electric charges might have magnetic counterparts,known as magnetic monopoles.Although the greatest interest has been in the supermassive monopoles that are a firm prediction of all grand unified theories,one cannot exclude the possibility of lighter monopoles,even though there is at present no strong theoretical motivation for these.
