That would refer to an "Ex Post Facto Law" and it's application would be unconstitutional under the changed circumstances. The individual would still be subject to the penalty under the old statute.

For example of an exception, felons are not allowed to possess firearms. If the definition of a firearm becomes broader, then it applies ex post facto to all felons, not just people who became felons after the law changed.

Can a magnetic field affect the performance of electrical circuits?
You better believe it can, but only if it's changing, otherwise the magnetic field can just pull or push the electrons in the circuit towards or away from it, but it can't slow them down. If the magnetic field is changing, a phenomenon called inductance happens. Inductance is an applied current to a circuit by a changing magnetic field. As you might imagine, an additional applied current to a circuit can definitely change the circuit's behavior and alter its performance.
