No,
Neither electric nor magnetic field affects the speed of light.
And even gravitational field of earth which is supposed to be the most powerful field as far as magnitude is concerned cannot affect the speed of light.

Photons are the force-carrying particles (quanta) of the electromagnetic field, but they themselves do not feel the force. Therefore a magnetic field exerts no force on a photon.
Contrast this with the quanta of the gravitational field (gravitons), which do feel the gravitational force and therefore can interact with each other.

the speed fo light always stays the same, no matter what. even if your moving away from it. Example. your having a snowball fight. your friend throws a snowball at 16 feet per second you start to run and the speed is reduced to 8 feet per second. now if the snowball is going at the speed of light itd stay the same speed.

a magnetic field will not affect the speed of light, it may bend it, but not the same way a prism does, it will not be split out into a rainbow

The speed would not be affected but its curvature would in extreme cases. Like a black hole. Its gravitational pull is so strong it pulls in everything around it, even light.
You won't change the speed of light but you could change its direction.

No a magnetic feild has no effect on the spped of light.
