An electric charge moving with uniform velocity has

  1. A only magnetic field around it.
  2. B neither electric field nor magnetic field around it.
  3. C only electric field around it.
  4. D both electric and magnetic field around it.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) both electric and magnetic field around it.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Concept based.
Uniformly moving electric charge is equivalent to electric current. So, moving charges produce magnetic field. An electric charge by default has an electric field associated with it. Therefore, it produces both electric and magnetic fields.
