Hi all, This question has been bothering me for some time, so here it is. I know that moving a charged particle, like an electron, generates a magnetic field. I know that moving electric charges in a circle (a loop of wire) generates a magnetic field. The question is, will a charge moving in a...

To my understanding, photons have no charge, so how does the magnetic field control them. Also side question - in the diagrams I see the photons seem to kind of curve around the magnetic field, does that mean they are accelerating?

Let's say that there's nothing else in this universe except for 2 charged particles: q1 and q2. q1 is moving relative to q2, moving at velocity v. I've read that a magnetic field is made by a moving charge. In this case, the moving charge q1 is moving relative to q2. What would the magnetic...
