Description
Maxwell's equations in vacuum exhibit a duality between electric and magnetic fields. This duality is spoiled in the presence of electric sources and the absence of magnetic sources. We derive the equations for magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) in the presence of magnetic monopoles. Using these equations, we construct a four-fluid model consisting of electrons, ions, monopoles, and anti-monopoles. The resulting plasma is shown to support generalizations of the familiar plasma waves, such as Langmuir waves, electromagnetic waves, and magnetosonic waves.
