We present a detailed theory for magnetoelectricity in itinerant-electron paramagnets, ferromagnets and antiferromagnets, whereby an electric field can induce a magnetization and a magnetic field can induce a polarization. Accurate numerical calculations are complementd by analytical models that provide a detailed microscopic understanding of magnetoelectricity in itinerant-electron systems. Our realistic calculations suggest that an electrically induced magnetization can be as large as one Bohr magneton per charge carrier.
