Abstract
The electric and the magnetic dipole moments are calculated for the bound states of a charged Dirac particle of spin 1/2 with an extra magnetic moment in the field of a fixed magnetic monopole. Unlike ordinary bound systems with and/or invariance, this system, lacking both, is found to possess a nonvanishing electric dipole moment. Its magnitude for the loosely bound states with the lowest possible angular momentum increases exponentially in the principal quantum number . The magnetic moment of the system is found to be, in general, nonvanishing.
