The question is: Moving charge produce _ field

Correct answer: C. Both a and b

  • A. Electric
  • B. Magnetic
  • C. Both a and b
  • D. None of these

Explanation

A moving charge produces both an electric field and a magnetic field. This is a fundamental principle of electromagnetism.Electric Field: A stationary charge produces an electric field. A moving charge also produces an electric field, but the strength and direction of the electric field are affected by the motion of the charge.Magnetic Field: A moving charge produces a magnetic field. The strength of the magnetic field is proportional to the magnitude of the charge and the speed at which it is moving. The direction of the magnetic field is given by the right-hand rule.

About Electromagnetism

Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
