can /sci/ help me understand magnetism? I'm stuck on a particular concept
As an electric charge moves through an electric field it becomes subject to the Lorentz Force. Why? Is the particle gaining some kind of magnetic charge as it moves? If so, does the fact that the particle is moving perpendicular to the magnetic field mean that its charge is an imaginary number?

A moving charge is an electric current. Currents generate magnetic fields.
