These units measure "quantity of magnetism", also known as magnetic pole strength, which is the phenomenon of electrical charge in motion with fixed velocity. This appears to be the ultimate cause of magnetic forces.  It These forces can be viewed as the effect of observing the forces produced by electric charge, but observed from a moving reference frame, as a consequence of Einsteins Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity.  This quantity is often symbolized

Mathinline
body\mathbf{q}_m = q \mathbf{v}
, where
Mathinline
body\displaystyle q
is electric charge and
Mathinline
body\mathbf{v}
is velocity.  However, it would be mistake to think of this magnetic "charge", although theoretical physicists have sometimes speculated using that terminology.  There is no evidence of so-called "magnetic monopoles."
