Magnetic field lines show the direction at every point which a small magnetised needle takes up at that point. Do the magnetic field lines also represent the 'lines of force' on a moving charged particle at every point?

Magnetic field arises due to charges in motion. Can a system have magnetic moments even though its net charge is zero?

IMPORTANT
Magnetic force is always normal to the velocity of a charge and therefore does no work. An iron nail held near a magnet, when released, increases its kinetic energy as it moves to cling to the magnet. What agency is responsible for this increase in kinetic energy if not the magnetic field?
