Bohr-Sommerfeld theory of the magnetic monopole    [PDF]

Vladan Pankovic, Darko V. Kapor
In this work we reproduce exactly some basic elements of the Dirac magnetic monopoles theory, especially Dirac electric/magnetic charge quantization condition, using simple Bohr-Sommerfeld (Old quantum atomic) theory. We consider the system, simply called magnetic monopole "atom", consisting of the practically standing, massive magnetic monopole as the "nucleus" and electron rotating stablely around magnetic monopole under magnetic and electrostatic interactions. At this system, i.e. at the electron rotation we apply Bohr-Sommerfeld orbital momentum quantization postulate. It yields result exactly equivalent to Dirac electric/magnetic charge quantization condition.
