What surrounds a stationary electric charge? A moving electric charge?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
Solution

To determine:The surrounded field of stationary and moving electric charge.

Answer:

A stationary charge is surrounded by electrical field and a moving charge is surrounded by both the magnetic and electric field.

Explanation:

Whenever a charge is in a stationary position, it is surrounded by an electrical field. When the charged particle starts moving, then it is surrounded by a magnetic field and an electrical field. The charged particle follows a curved path in a magnetic field and follows that path until it accomplishes the circle.

The magnetic field acts normally to the direction of travel. In reality, both moving and stationary electrical charges are surrounded by the gravitational field.

Conclusion:

Therefore, a stationary charge is surrounded by electrical field and a moving charge is surrounded by both the magnetic and electric field.
