Question

why does a magnetic field exerts no force on a stationary electric charge?

Open in App

Solution

A moving electric charge has a magnetic field associated with it. So, it's magnetic field interacts with the external magnetic field and a force is exerted on the moving charge.
But, a fixed charge does not have any magnetic field associated with it, so id does not experience any force in a magnetic field.
