  Topological magnetic defects in multiferroic materials acquire an electric
charge or dipole moment due to the inverse Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya mechanism.
This magnetoelectric coupling makes possible to excite large-amplitude
collective motion of topological magnetic textures with an oscillating electric
field. Here, I discuss electric excitation of a polar optical mode in a
vortex-antivortex crystal and the electrically-induced spin precession in a
magnetic skyrmion, which gives rise to rotation of skyrmions around each other
and a translational motion of skyrmion-antiskyrmion pairs. The electric
manipulation of magnetic topological defects in Mott insulators can find
applications in magnetoelectric memory and logical devices.
