It is shown that both the electric and magnetic dipole moment vectors of hydrogen atom in the excited states with wave function un(±) = 1\over√ 2 [Rn,n-1(r) Yn-1,± (n-2)(θϕ) ± Rn,n-2(r) Yn-2,± (n-2)(θϕ)] 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.
