Question

What field(s) are created by an electron when it moves?

A. electric and gravitational fields

B. magnetic and gravitational fields

C. gravitational, electric, and magnetic fields

D. electric field only

Answer 1

Answer: Option C. gravitational, electric, and magnetic fields

Step-by-step explanation:

An electron is a negatively charged particle having mass, m = 9.1 × 10⁻³¹ kg and charge, q = -1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C. Gravitational field is created all bodies having mass. Hence, a moving electron also creates gravitational field.

A charged body creates electric field around it. And when the charged body moves, it also creates magnetic field. Hence, a moving electron creates gravitational field, electric field and magnetic field.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

Answer 2

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The fields that are created by an electron when it moves are gravitational, electric, and magnetic fields. All fields are being produced by such movement. Hope this answers the question.
