I was wondering if there where any ideas or theories regarding what a magnetic field is composed of. Are there any particle ideas, or is it just something we don't understand yet

We know about magnetic field as well as we know about electric field. They are all encompassed under Quantum Electrodynamics.

Zz.
 
What does QED say about the two fields, does it mention nothing about compostion of the fields? Are the fields composed of nothing?, Doesn't there have to be something that can cause the force, some sort of particle, like gravitons cause gravity, is there any particle that causes electromagnetism
 
According to one website, virtual photons are running on the lines of force. That did answer my question but now I need to know what a virtual photon is lol
 
google it ;)

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
