Hi! I am new user to this forums and on the start I have one question:
"If I increase the speed of the electrons, will the magnetic field strength of the electrons increase?

Thank you.

Your answer will be found in the Biot-Savart Law. The electrical current-part, denoted by I, is directly related to the velocity of the charge carriers. Just remember the definition of current and you will conclude that your answer must be YES !

For a more formal approach, try calculating the induced E-and B-fields of a single electron that makes a circular motion. You will see that B = (1/c2) v x E !
