In physics, a dyon is a hypothetical particle with both electric and magnetic charges. A dyon with a zero electric charge is usually referred to as a monopole. Many Grand Unified Theories predict the existence of both monopoles and dyons.

Dyons in Dirac's theory

In Dirac's theory, a monopole is a point-like object which serves as a source of magnetic field. It is possible to consider a more complicated object which is a source of both electric and magnetic fields. Thus dyons are allowed, but not required by this theory. In quantum theory, the allowed values of the electric and magnetic charges are constrained by the Dirac-Zwanziger-Schwinger quantization condition: if there exists both a particle with electric charge e1 and magnetic charge g1 and a particle with electric charge e2 and magnetic charge g2, then one must have
