Dec 22, 2018 at 9:01 comment added analogsystemsrf In some reference frames, there is a time difference between various points, resulting in different (orthogonal) forces. We call these (slight, orthogonal) forces the magnetic field. To pretend to understand this in a simple manner, math methods conjure up the magnetic field. TRUE? Note I'm using two words here: forces and fields, as different.

Dec 22, 2018 at 3:30 comment added jonk You don't want to memorize, "but [instead to] understand the logic behind it." The answers you've been given don't provide a deeper understanding. (Ask yourself why it is that there might be no magnetic field in one frame of reference, while there is a magnetic field in another. Look into Lagrange's equations of motion, Hamiltonian mechanics, and gauge invariance. Finally, symmetry arguments and reflection space may provide some intuition.) This is probably the wrong place for the logic behind. You might try the physics stackexchange. See if they can help.
