i have several questions which relate to a project i will be starting soon
we all know the right hand rule and others, but does it apply to 2 particles interacting with each other? for example if 2 protons are moving towards each other
-------+>
<+---------
like that ^
will relativity affect them, causing the magnetic fields to make them repel each other more strongly than they would if they were stationary next to each other?
if they were 0.000,000,001m away from each other, and traveling at half the speed of light relative to each other, how much of the force pushing them apart would be from the magnetism at their closest point? (travelling perpendicular to each other)
also i need the relevant equations to answering this question so that next time i have a similar question, i can solve it myself
EDIT: does magnetic field strength generated by a single particle increase in strength linearly or exponentially? (if a proton doubles its velocity, does its magnetic field strength double? or quadruple?)
