Magnetic current

Magnetic current is, nominally, a current composed of fictitious moving magnetic monopoles. It has the dimensions of volts. The usual symbol for magnetic current is ${\displaystyle k}$ which is analogous to ${\displaystyle i}$ for electric current. Magnetic currents produce an electric field analogously to the production of a magnetic field by electric currents. Magnetic current density, which has the units of V/m² (volts per square meter), is usually represented by the symbols ${\displaystyle {\mathfrak {M}}^{t}}$ and ${\displaystyle {\mathfrak {M}}^{i}}$. The superscripts indicate total and impressed magnetic current density. The impressed currents are the energy sources. In many useful cases, a distribution of electric charge can be mathematically replaced by an equivalent distribution of magnetic current. This artifice can be used to simplify some electromagnetic field problems. It is possible to use both electric current densities and magnetic current densities in the same analysis.
