Magnetism is a component of the electromagnetic force that arises from the motion of charged particles, specifically influenced by their velocity. It is distinct from electric force, which is solely dependent on the position of the particles. The discussion also raises the question of whether a stationary magnetic field can influence another stationary electric field, indicating the complex interplay between these two fundamental forces.
