Best Answer

Hans Orsted first discovered that when an electric current was run through a wire and put close to a compass, the needle moved toward it. Although, he had no idea what that meant.

Michael Faraday, built on his work and found that when an electric current runs through a wire, a magnetic field is produced around the wire. He also found that an electric field is around a wire it produces an electric current. The direction of the current depends on which direction the field is going in. The faster you move the electric field the stronger the current.

Force of pushing or pulling between magnetic poles?

This is the Electromagnetic force. (Technically, it's the Lorentz force, which is the force on a charge due to an electromagnetic field, but either will do.)


Photon does not have charge then how does it have electromagnetic field?

Well one way to look at it is that a photon IS an electromagnetic field. The photon is the gauge particle for the electromagnetic force. Without photons there would be no electromagnetic interaction force, and therefore no electromagnetic fields.

How can you measure the mass of a photon?

One method is to determine the effectivity of the electromagnetic force over a distance. The electromagnetic force acts over an infinite distance and therefore the photon, the particle that mediates the electromagnetic force, is massless.
