Now you are just dragging the discussion out of perspective. The intention of Wheeler/Feynman article is not to state if the electric or magnetic field can or cannot be generated by a single charge. Instead, they used two particles system to express the causality concerns that is inherited from...

If you are saying that single charge would not generate magnetic field, would you then also agree that a single charge would also not generate electric field? Without the second test charge as you stated, there is no way you could tell if the electric field exist.

Hi jjustin, thanks for your comments and I am also interested in this topic. I was trying to address storm4438's concerns of how a single charge could generate magnetic field. My point is that the electric and magnetic field are ONE and inseparable. An observer could sense different values of...

Good question and hope that I could provide some help to your concerns Electric field and magnetic field are observables depending on the frame of reference where the observation takes place. Imagine that a single charge is moving along a straight line, in one case, an observer is moving...
