Question

As a proton moves through space, it creates


an electric field only.
a magnetic field only.
both an electric field and magnetic field.
nothing; the electric field and magnetic fields cancel each other out.

Answer 1

A charge in space will create an electric field via Coulomb's Law. A moving charge will actually create a current. Through Ampere's law, a current will induce a magnetic field. Therefore, a moving proton will create an electromagnetic field (i.e radio waves).

Answer 2

thank you
