Question:
An electric charge in uniform motion produces:
An electric charge in uniform motion produces:
Show Hint
Moving charge \(\Rightarrow\) always produces magnetic field.
Updated On: Apr 16, 2026
- only electric field
- only magnetic field
- Both electric and magnetic field
- Neither electric nor magnetic field
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Concept:
A moving charge creates:
• Electric field (due to charge)
• Magnetic field (due to motion)
Step 1: Uniform motion.
Even at constant velocity, magnetic field exists.
Step 2: Conclusion.
\[ \therefore \text{Both fields are present that is electric and magnetic field} \]
• Electric field (due to charge)
• Magnetic field (due to motion)
Step 1: Uniform motion.
