Subhra said:So a charge in motion creates a static magnetic field. Now in this static field place a static charge and forget about the field. Look only a charge (creator of the magnetic field) in motion and a charge at rest and tell me whether the charge at rest will experience a force or not.
The Biot-Savart law is valid for a current in a wire. Not for a single moving charge. A single moving charge will also have an electric field, which will accelerate other electric charges.
