Hi everybody, someone knows the answer to this?? "An electric field acts on a charge with a force which makes it move. So, there is a net difference between a field generated by a distribution of charge stationary in space and a field producing current (which is still moving charge) in a circuit. Whic is the difference? Sorry for the english, I tried to translate from italitan :) Thanks in advance

moving charges produce magnetic field.

sorry i forget to close the question. Actually the answer is that while in a wire the Ef is produced by chemical reaction or electromagnetic induction, in space it's given just by the distribution of stationary charges. Thanks you the same :)
