What kind of force field surrounds a stationary electric charge? What additional field surrounds it when it moves? @Abhisar

OpenStudy (redohawk):

there will be an electric field due to the charge, and a gravitational field due to the mass. a moving charge will also produce a magnetic field.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y?

OpenStudy (redohawk):

i put due to whatever in there... anyway, don't copy, and paste this answer. Put in your own words so that you can get the good grade ^-^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't copy and paste

OpenStudy (abhisar):

When a charge is stationary then only electric field surrounds it. But when it starts moving an additional magnetic field surrounds it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get understanding so i can put in my own words

OpenStudy (abhisar):

For the reason wait...brb

OpenStudy (abhisar):

ohkay i am back

OpenStudy (abhisar):

ohkay to know the xact reason for this u need to understand relativity theorem first !

OpenStudy (abhisar):

To simply understand the phenomenon i'll tell u about Biot-Savart's Law which deals with the magnetic fied induction at a point due to small current

OpenStudy (abhisar):

*Electromagnetism is not that simple it looks*

OpenStudy (abhisar):

shall i ?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

?????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i'm here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

proceed

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Hmm..are u aquinted with Calculus ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (abhisar):

I don know how to xplain u then O_o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try please let me see if i get it

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Neither i am able to google anything which explains it simply

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Biot savart's Law is an experimental law predicted by two pros named Biot and Savart. http://prntscr.com/3vnka0

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Click the above link for the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did

OpenStudy (abhisar):

In it B is magnetic field intensity, i is current, dl is small length of conductor, r is distance between the point and conductor

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i get that

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Now using this equation we can calculate the amount of magnetic field a moving charge will exert. Since current is a kind of moving charge

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm back

OpenStudy (abhisar):

got it ?
