RE: Searching for the North (or the South) pole at CERN
Magnetism is however different. There is no unit of magnetic charge.
If there's no unit to measure magnetic charge, does it mean that all magnets are capable of producing the same charge? Or is it modified by factors like mass?
By the way, it's amazing how you explain such complicated topics in a way that pretty much anyone can understand them!

This sentence may be slightly misleading, I agree.
What I meant is that there is on fundamental magnetic charge. In electricity, one takes the charge of the electron for instance, and we can multiply it by integer numbers (except for quarks for which we need rational numbers) to get the charge of any object. In magnetism, there is no such a quantity. Every single magnetic object is always a dipole: it always have two poles, a North and a South pole. However, the magnetic field produced by a magnet will depend ion the properties of the latter (for instance its magnetic moment that itself depends on other particle properties like its spin).
Thanks for your nice comment by the way :)
Got it now! Thank you for clarifying n_n
