When a charge is in motion, it generates

When a charge is in motion, it generates

Options

Aonly a magnetic field
Bonly an electric field
Cboth electric and magnetic fields
Dneither an electric nor a magnetic field

Correct answer

C. both electric and magnetic fields

Step-by-step solution

A stationary electric charge produces only an electric field in its surrounding space.

When the charge is in motion, it constitutes an electric current. According to electromagnetism, a moving charge produces both an electric field and a magnetic field.
