Magnetic field could only affect moving charges?

no other thing is under effect of B ? srry .i m not good in eng , hope u seniors can understd my q. thanks lot..

A current carrying wire can experience a force given by Biot-Savart law.
A current carrying loop under magnetic field can experience torque which comes under magnetic moment.
$$\tau = M*B$$
But even then in both cases there is a movement of charge(current).

Yes.
Incase youre wondering, what we normally consider a "magnet" is a little complicated
Normally electrons orbit around the nucleus in random configurations, while a permanent ferromagnet has electrons all orbitting around the same axis.
Essentially the force we normally experience as magnetism is the interaction between the electrons, that are moving(even though the atoms appear stationary)

hmm.. thanks for ur replies... appreciate it much...

Yes, a magnetic field can only affect moving charges. Magnetic fields are created by the movement of charges and can only interact with other moving charges. Other objects, such as stationary objects or non-conductive materials, are not affected by magnetic fields. However, it is important to note that moving charges can also create electric fields, which can affect other objects, even if they are not moving. I hope this helps clarify your question.
