Abstract
EDMs probe fundamental symmetries and underpin BSM searches. We give a symmetry-based description, analogous to the Zeeman effect, that puts magnetic and electric dipoles on equal footing under EM duality. In hydrogen, vec B (pseudovector) couples to hat{vec J} and reduces SO(4) to SO(2) generated by hat Jz. A static vec E (polar) couples within a fixed n to a scaled Runge-Lenz operator hat{vec A}rm sc, mixes parities, and preserves SO(2)times SO(2) generated by hat Jz and hat A_{{rm sc},z}. This motivates a pseudo-angular momentum hat{vec J}p built from hat{vec A}rm sc and a Landé factor gE, so the orbital dipole is hat{vec d}rm orb=gE dB hat{vec J}p/hbar, with dB=ea0=2μB/(cα). Stark mixing of 2s and 2pm=0 gives |langle drm orbrangle|=3dB $gE=3$. Following Ohanian's magnetisation formalism, we construct its electric dual: the microscopic polarisation vec P has nonzero curl, defining a magnetic probability current vec Jm=-ε0-1nablatimesvec P, and the EDM expectation is langle hat{vec d}rm totrangle=-frac{ε0}{2}int vec rtimes vec Jm d3r=dBbig\[gElangle hat{vec J}prangle/hbar+gEelangle hat{vec S}rangle/hbarbig\], with gEe=2drm int/dB. Here hat{vec S} encodes any intrinsic EDM drm int, while hat{vec J}p captures the Stark-induced pseudo-angular momentum from Runge-Lenz symmetry. The dual framework shows that induced EDMs may be described by circulating magnetic probability currents, mirroring magnetic dipoles from circulating electric probability currents.
