We consider the motion of test particles around a $Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m$ black hole immersed into a strong external magnetic field modifying the spacetime structure. When the particles are neutral, their dynamics are nonintegrable because the magnetic field acts as a gravitational effect, which destroys the existence of a fourth motion constant in the $Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m$ spacetime. A time-transformed explicit symplectic integrator is used to show that the motion of neutral particles can be chaotic under some circumstances. When test particles have electric charges, their motions are subject to an electromagnetic field surrounding the black hole as well as the gravitational forces from the black hole and the magnetic field. It is found that increasing both the magnetic field and the particle energy or decreasing the particle angular momentum can strengthen the degree of chaos regardless of whether the particles are neutral or charged. The effect of varying the black hole positive charge on the dynamical transition from order to chaos is associated with the electric charges of particles. The dynamical transition of neutral particles has no sensitive dependence on a change of the black hole charge. An increase of the black hole charge weakens the chaoticity of positive charged particles, whereas enhances the chaoticity of negative charged particles. With the magnitude of particle charge increasing, chaos always gets stronger.

  1. Chaotic motion of particles around a Schwarzschild black hole in a swirling electromagnetic background

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Numerical chaos indicators applied to the Schwarzschild-Bertotti-Robinson-Bonnor-Melvin family show that chaos occurs without swirling and that electromagnetic field strengths and directions tightly restrict bound orbits.
