MCQ
A current carrying wire in the neighborhood produces
  • A
    No field
  • B
    Electric field only
  • Magnetic field only
  • D
    Electric and magnetic fields

Answer

Correct option: C.
Magnetic field only
c
(c) Current means flow of electron in particular direction it does not charge the conductor hence outside wire electric field is zero and only magnetic field exists.
