Existence of the magnetic monopole is compatible with fundamental laws nature; however, this elusive particle has yet to be detected experimentally. We show theoretically that an electric charge near a topological surface state induces image due magneto-electric effect. The field generated by may experimentally measured, and inverse square law dependence can determined quantitatively. propose effect used realize gas quantum particles carrying fractional statistics, consisting bound states charge.

Supporting calculations show an E-field-induced distortion lies behind rotation. Overall, present new approach control makes...
