Not sure if this should be in quantum section, please move if necessary. We know that: 1. A stationary particle with charge q is not affected by an external magnetic field. We can assume this particle is not magnetic at all, since it would allign and travel in relation to the magnetic...

Thanks for the reply mfb When I look at the potential energies, and the equation: Uem = Ue + Um Ue generally overshadows Um, and Ue is positive or negative depending on the +/- product of e of the particles. So for two positive particles Ue is positive, and the force between them is repellent...

My first post so please forgive me if I am already breaking some rules ;) This may apply to positive or negative particles: We know that equal charges repel each other to the value of Coulomb force F=kqq/r^2. What I would like to know is if a magnetic force between two (non-moving, but...
