  It is shown that both the electric and magnetic dipole moment vectors of
hydrogen atom in the excited states with wave function $$ u_n^{(\pm)} =
{1\over\sqrt 2} [R_{n,n-1}(r) Y_{n-1,\pm (n-2)}(\theta\phi) \pm R_{n,n-2}(r)
Y_{n-2,\pm (n-2)}(\theta\phi)]$$ align themselves in the direction of an
external uniform electric field which is characteristic of magneto-electric
effect. These states are found to have magnetic charge $g={3n\over (n-2)e}$ on
account of this effect. This result is confirmed by an independent method. An
experiment is suggested to fabricate these states and detect the magnetic
charge. It ma be worth noting that inspite of many experimental searchs,
magnetic charge, whose existence has been theorized both in electrodynamics and
non-abelian gauge theories, none have been found so far, nor there exist any
suggstion as to where these are to be found.
