Abstract
In studying the interaction of dual-charged particles (particles with both electric and magnetic charge) , the introduction of a two-dimensional charge space results in a set of dynamical equations governing the behavior of the system that are invariant under rotation in charge space. Systems in which all particles have the same magnetic to electric charge ratio are indistinguishable from conventional electrodynamic systems consisting of ordinary electric charges and electromagnetic fields. However, systems consisting of particles with different charge ratios behave differently. It is shown that for a hydrogen-like atom consisting of two dual-charged particles with different charge ratios, some of the degeneracy within the hydrogen atom energy states is removed.
