How these two moments in the story relate

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The magnetized beam episode in Ep 15 is the direct mechanism that brings the TARDIS to Kembel, setting the stage for the Daleks' eventual exposure of Chen's deception. Without the pursuit ship's forced landing, Chen would not be in a position to supply the taranium, nor would the Time Destructor test occur.
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
