Why is a Electron negative not both?

Question

I was pondering on the question of magnetic dipoles but then I had an thought that electron and other particles are either positive or negative or have no magnetic charge but then I thought of particles like being small spherical magnets (in shape of pellets) but then I realized both have a negative and positive poles so what makes an electron negative or is it an mono-pole? If it were like my description, then surely we can never call it negative as it would be relative to the observer.

I'm only in Middle-School so please correct me if any of my knowledge is wrong.

Answer 1

From your description, you may be confusing the concept of magnetic charge and dipole with electric charge and dipole. An electron has negative electric charge, but does not have a similar magnetic charge.

That being said, many fundamental particles, including electrons, do have a magnetic dipole. This is conceptually separate from its electric charge, though; particles can have no electric charge but still have a magnetic dipole (e.g., a neutron).

Also, there has never been any detected magnetic charge (aka monopole).
